A complete post medieval lead alloy cast biface token dating 16th to 18th century AD. Both sides have an irregular, hatched / criss-cross design (Powell type 7). As a similar PAS record states (KENT-1EC255), the hatched design can be seen on the Arms of the Waterman's Guild and they could be agricultural tallies given to farm labourers for ploughing and / or harrowing work (Bailey, 1992; Fletcher, 2005).

Dimensions: Diameter: 18mm; Weight: 3.48g.
