Post Medieval biface cast lead or lead alloy circular token (Powell Class 1 and 7). The token has raised decoration on both faces. On one, a flower with six pointed oval petals, meeting at the remains of a central pellet. This one's casting is reminiscent of tokens that can be firmly dated to the Post Medieval so a general date of c1600 to c1800 AD is suggested. There are a number of biface tokens on the database that combine variations on the flower & grid patterns. They include BH-398DB5, LANCUM-AA8DE1, LIN-FEF606, BUC-971B98, LANCUM-FAFC27, and ESS-F605C7. The diameter is 22m…

A Post Medieval lead alloy uniface token, probably dating from the 14th to the 18th century. The token has a series of well defined chevrons on the obverse in the form of an eight pointed star which separate the face into quarters with a pellet in each of these segments. The majority of lead tokens are thought to date to the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries as increasing numbers of dated tokens are found. This token is therefore likely of a similar date. Similar to LON-9A5D14, Lead tokens had a wide variety of potential uses such as tallies, gaming pieces, tickets, weigh…

The obverse appears to have a double bust showing young and old Victoria with an empire inscription probably Indian in origin stating Victoria Queen and Empress. The reverse is stamped with A. W. H.
