Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Cornwall
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Cast cubical lead die, square in plan, profile and section with impressed annulets in groups of two, within an incised lozenge, and four, on opposite sides, and the six annulets opposite the one, and the five opposite the three. Each of the faces of the die each have a sub-square recessed area within a raised outer edge.

A Medieval or Post Medieval cast lead alloy circular uniface token. Powell Type 30. The token is decorated on one side with five pellets arranged with four forming corners of a square with the fifth pellet roughly in the centre. The reverse surface is flat and undecorated. Lead and its alloys are very easy to work and tokens were often locally produced; therefore they are difficult to date and tokens with simple designs had considerable longevity. There are dated generally from c. 1250-1800 AD.
