Cast circular uniface lead alloy token. The token has a raised design of initials, probably N or W followed by a second, illegible letter, on one side. The reverse appears blank. It is 19.9mm in diameter, 5.8mm thick and weighs 9.54 grams. It is unusually thick and pitted and may have a higher than usual tin content. Lead tokens were often made locally for a wide range of uses and those with initals are hard to date precisely but are generally Post Medivela in date (1500-1850 AD).

A cast lead alloy forgery of an Austrian Maria Theresa thaler. Around the edge of the coin it is possible to see a seam where the 2 halves of the mould used to cast it joined, and the remains of the casting sprue are also visible on the edge above the bust/eagle's crown. Maria Theresa was Empress from 1740 to her death in 1780, jointly with her husband Franz I from 1745 to 1765, and then with her son Joseph II from 1765 to 1780. The original coin of which this forgery is a copy was probably minted in Burgau, an Austrian possession near Ulm in Bavaria. [germany]

A probably contemporary copy of a halfpenny probably of George IV (AD 1820-1827), cast in lead and date (AD) 182(5?). The coin is not a particularly good likeness for the official issue, and being in lead alloy it would have had a different appearance to the copper coins of the time. The obverse depicts a crude bust facing left, while the reverse depicts a seated Britannia.

Contemporary copy of a Post Medieval farthing of Charles II dating to the period AD 1672 to 1679, Spink 3394. The coin appears to be in a lead alloy mix but is not a tin farthing as it lacks the neat square plug and also has the date on the reverse under Britannia rather than on the edge like the tin farthings. The raised border on both faces, around the design, irregularity of the letters, incorrect die axis measurement and a possible date of 1676 when farthings were not struck all also suggests it is a copy.

A plated copy of an 8 escudos coin of Philip III of Spain. Reverse: HISPANIARVM REX 1637; cross inside quadrilobe. The copper alloy plating has been damaged in places revealing a blueish core, probably lead alloy. A seem is visible around the outer edge of the coin and patches of gilding remain on each face. It is unclear whether the coin was intended to deceive during the Post-Medieval period or in more recent times.

A Post Medieval lead alloy token probably dating 1600 - 1800. This token has a cross with a central pellet, in between each of the arms of the cross there appears to be a T-shape projecting from the central pellet; all within a linear border. This pattern also resembles a wheel. On the other side are the letters RW in retrograde. The shape of this token is very irregular. The lead alloy has a gilded appearance which is "nature's gilding" - tin sulphides Lead tokens are difficult to date precisely and could be Medieval to Post Medieval in date (1250-1800 AD). The majority of le…

A postmedieval lead alloy (possibly pewter) copy of a coin. The coin is a copy of a silver eight reale of Ferdinand VI of Spain (1746 - 1759). The item appears to have been cast rather than struck and is very worn. The last digit of the date is worn, so the coin can be dated to AD 1750, 1756 or 1759.
