Cast lead-alloy token, probably dating from the post-medieval or early modern period, i.e. c. AD1500-1800. The token is complete. It is circular in shape with moulded decoration on the obverse and reverse. The obverse is decorated with a flower or star(?)-shaped pattern whilst there is a moulded cross on the reverse. These lead-alloy tokens are normally home-made and frequent finds in fields (pasture and ploughed land). They are usually found out of context, and most of them have no inscription or other lettering on which makes dating them very difficult. Generally, they are given a b…

A copper-alloy token dating from late the 18th or early 19th century. It is very worn and the exact date of the token can no longer be made out. However, although corroded one can see that the obverse depicts a hooded bust facing left which is meant to be a druid. The bust is surrounded by a laureate leaf design around the circumference of the coin. The reverse depicts the (very worn) scrolling letters PMC, which stands for the Parys Mine Company. Above these three letters would be the date and around this we would find the legend W[E] PROMISE TO PAY THE BEARER ONE PENNY. Furthermore, …

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).
