Near the centre of this line, there emerges another raised rib that forks part way along, resulting in three raised lines heading towards the edge of the token. On either side of this central forked object, there are two curved lines. Below the off-centre, thicker line, there are three raised ribs tha…

An incomplete, lead alloy uniface token of Medieval to Post Medieval date (c. AD 1400-1800). The token is roughly sub-oval in plan and is uniface.
