A Medieval to Post Medieval cast lead alloy circular unifaced token. Powell Type 19. The token has a stylized raised design of possibly a standing horse. The reverse is plain.

Lead tokens had a wide variety of uses and were made locally; they are therefore hard to date precisely, although it is likely that this form is of late Medieval - Post Medieval date, c. 1250-1800 AD.
