A Medieval to Post Medieval cast lead alloy uniface token, c. 1250-1800. Powell Type 7. The token is decorated on one face with a grid or hatching. The other face is undecorated. The token is an irregular circular shape, and is slightly bent.
Lead tokens had a wide variety of uses and were easy to manufacture and distribute; they are therefore difficult to date precisely.
