A late Medieval lead token. There is a raised cross on one face, with a pellet in each quarter - echoing the long cross coinage of an earlier date. There is perhaps the remains of some further detail on the other face, but this is too worn to make out. The object bears strong similarities to a token illustrated in Fletcher (2005, p.40), which is suggested to be of 15th century date and is one of a series from this period that appear to have been strongly influenced by contemporary coin designs. The illustrated example is decorated with a cross formed from two sets of parallel lines, w…

Object type: COIN WEIGHT
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Somerset
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A copper alloy Medieval or Post-Medieval hexagonal coin weight. Withers and Withers (1995, p.9) suggest that hexagonal weights are either Anglo-gallic of French and date from the 15th-16th centuries. This coin weight is uniface, though the design is very difficult to make out, perhaps a seated lion? Coins with this design are shown on p.42 (ibid.) and were used to weight the Lion and its fractions, a coin struck by Philip the Good in Burgundy between 1454-60. Later the Flanders lion and half lion were issued in 1583-4. Diameter: 14.23mm, Thickness: 2.81mm, Weight: 3.1g

Probable lead token of late Medieval date. The object bears strong similarities to a token illustrated in Fletcher (2005, p.40), which is suggested to be of 15th century date and is one of a series from this period that appear to have been strongly influenced by contemporary coin designs. The illustrated example is decorated with a cross formed from two sets of parallel lines, with a single pellet in each quadrant, echoing, albeit simply, the long-cross coinage of this period. This particular example, however, is much more crudely executed, with a set of off-centre parallel lines cross…
