Post Medieval uniface cast lead circular pan weight, impressed initials IB, raised rim on both faces. Circular impressions on reverse resulting from use/stacking possibly because the weight is comparatively soft due to the use of quite pure lead rather than an alloy. Dates from c1500 to c1800 AD. The diameter is 49mm and the weight 166.6g. No close parallels found but it shares similarities with DEV-10D933.

County: East Sussex
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A Medieval or Post medieval cast lead alloy uniface circular token, c. AD 1250-1800 AD. Powell Type 3. The token is slightly bent and has a raised series of intersecting lines to one side creating segments and the other side is blank. It weighs 3.5 grams, 19.42 mm in diameter and 1.58 mm thick.
