Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: East Sussex

A complete Post Medieval cast, lead alloy uniface token, dating to c. AD 1550-1800; Powell type 2. The token is decorated on one side with a inscribed 'I' or '1'. The other side is undecorated and flat. The token is of a greyish-white colour. It measures 26.9 mm in diameter, 2.4 mm thick, 12.2 g in weight.
Tokens were easy to make and distributed widely throughout a large period of time; therefore, they are difficult to date precisely. Those with initials are thought to date to the Post Medieval period.
