A Post Medieval lead alloy token, dating to the 17th century. The token is biface, with a crescent moon on one side and the initials TC on the other. The crescent design can be seen on a token dating to the 17th century (Mitchiner and Skinner, 1985, plate 19 no.177). This is therefore a likely date for this token. Dimensions: diameter: 18.25 mm; weight: 4.04g. Reference: Mitchiner, M. and Skinner, A. 1985. English Tokens C.1425 - 1672. In Challis, C. and Blackburn, M.
