Lead alloy coin. An unusual variant of sceat; perhaps associated with the manufacture and distribution of fake Iron Age and Anglo-Saxon coins. These are thought to be made in the Grimsby area and are distributed in areas frequented by metal-detector users across northern parts of Lincolnshire.
A circular flan of diameter 10.6mm, from its reverse cast onto a smooth flat surface, appears to have been struck by a smaller die with a protruding outer edge, forming a uniface 'coin' of diameter 8.6mm standing proud of the flan. A finely rendered motif comprises a swastika with arms rightw…

A probably modern imitation lead alloy coin in the form of an Early Medieval silver coin. The piece appears to be inspired by a coin of Eadgar (959 - 975), Pre-reform two line type (959 - 973). It is very similar to North number 741, but the moneyer's name is 'NORB/ER' which is not one of the listed possibilities. The finder has had the piece tested using XRF and it is made of a high lead alloy. The crosses in the design seem thinner and cruder than the illustrated genuine coins. The piece is 22.63mm in diameter and 1.4mm thick. It weighs 3.9g.

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.

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.
