Silver 'love token', probably late 17th/early 18th century. At that time, medieval and post medieval hammered silver coins were used as 'amulets' after they have been rendered useless by bending and perforating it. Sometimes the coin can still be identified; this specimen, however, has been rendered unrecognisable.

Cast lead token. Obverse depicts long cross with pellets in each quarter. Reverse shows signs of a cross decoration although badly worn. It is unclear as to why lead tokens were produced although they appear numerous in the 17th and 18th centuries (Bailey 1999 page 56). They may have been produced as a form of working class low denomination currency associated with rural areas (Bailey 2000 pages 13-14). Alternative uses may have been for payment of casual workers or gambling (ibid. page 14). This example appears to be of possible French origin and political in nature (ibid…

Cast lead stud/disc. Irregular in form. Front face demonstrates a central pellet in relief with a surrounding circular form. The reverse is plain. Possibly a miss-cast token. The site of recovery of the object could suggest however that this object is Roman in date and could therefore be a lead pot mend. These were used to hold broken vessels together before glue. A hole would be drilled into a broken vessel along the line of the break and then molten lead poured through which would harden on cooling (Cuddeford 1994 page 51).
