According to North (1991, 140), it is likely that rather than being used as tokens, these objects were probably used as political medalets or counters (North 1991, 140) during the reign of elizabeth I. Despite not being a coin this token type has been designated as no. 2062 by North (1991, 140).2020-03-30 11:45:012020-04-20 14:30:19412020-02-021Certain113636PAS5E81CDAD00175A25121PUBLICLead Alloy11095CastIncompletePoorPOST MEDIEVALPMx41047p0gjgrs6sgxPOST MEDIEVALPMx41047p0gjgrs6sgxMetal detectorCircaCirca99580618210182131823241421TQ8731TQ8731TQ83SE51.04790630.666466781011098313PUBLIC1CDAD7.jpg291672post medieval token front and backThe Portable Antiquities Scheme4images/alancharman67/South EastMinimal cultivationCultivated landEuropean RegionCountyKentDistrictAshfordCivil Parish51.0630.702444TenterdenReturned to finder95429
