Cast lead alloy uniface token. One face is decorated with the raised design of a harp surmounted by a crown. Powell type 16. The other face is blank. The design is crudely reminiscent of the reverse of the James I and Charles I Royal farthing tokens, issued under licence in the first half of the 17th century, and this similarity could possibly be indicative of the date of this token. Circa 1500-1750 AD
