Probable Post Medieval (c. 1500 to 1900) uniface lead token: The design consists of two low-relief crosses which may have been scored into the surface. The reverse is undecorated. The surface has a developed mid brown patina. The token measures 20.31mm long, 20.49mm wide, 2.56mm thick, weighs 6.47g. This is possibly a lead token, but it is unusual in its low-relief design. Lead tokens had a wide variety of potential uses such as use as tallies, gaming pieces, tickets, weights, etc. and are believed to have been locally produced; they are therefore difficult to date precisely.
