An incomplete unifacial lead token, dating to the Post Medieval period, c. 1650 - 1700.  The object is worn but appears to have M motif with surrounding pellet design on one face, enclosed with a raised border. The design is unclear due to wear. The reverse side is plain.  The token is incomplete with a worn break, and a bend to the top edge, along with a perforation. A similar style of token is seen in Egan (2005), pg 170 fig 165 no 924.
