A lead-alloy disc, of uncertain date, probably used as a token or possibly a gaming piece. One side has a motif in relief, of a head right wearing a hat, ear-length bushy hair poking out below. The head is probably of a male. The reverse side is probably blank making this a uniface artefact. Weight is 2.14g, diameter is 17.5mm, thickness is 2.1mm. This disc has a very fine crack running across the approximate centre and may indicate that the object has been slightly bent.
