status: Awaiting validation 
A cast lead token from the 17th-19th century. The token is circular with a design cast in relief on one face, and plain on the reverse. The decoration consists of a prominent cross shaped formed by 4 rectangles arranged around a central square. The pairs of rectangles opposite each other have different designs on them. Two have parallel lines creating a ladder effect, and the other two (as well as the central square) have an X in them. There is additional decoration on each of the quarters created by the cross, most of which are too worn, but two appear to have a feur de lis.
