A complete post-Medieval lead-alloy circular double-sided token (c. 1500-c. 1850). Powell Type 2/2. The token has raised initial letters: T·C (retrograde) on one side and H·A on the other side. This token is grey with buff deposits. Diameter: 26.0mm. Weight: 5.29g. Lead tokens had a wide variety of potential uses such as tallies, gaming pieces, tickets, weights, etc. and are believed to have been locally produced; they are therefore difficult to date precisely. Those carrying initials are generally deemed to be post-Medieval in date (1500-1850), those which seem to mimic…

Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
County: Derbyshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Copper alloy possible early medieval Thor's hammer pendant. The item measures 38.5mm in height, and the hammer head is 14.6mm wide. The shaft is tapered from a maximum width of 5.9mm at the head to 3.4mm at the top, and the overall thickness is 4.5mm, although it tapers towards the top. There is a probable break at the top as there is no suspension loop, but the object is badly worn so this is uncertain. It has a well developed green patination. If this is a representation of Mjolnir or Thor's hammer then it will date from c873 - 950

Under magnification traces of silvering are apparent on the frame, although the item is mainly covered in brown patination overlying green corrosion. Similar to no's 40 and 59 in Whitehead which are dated to c1250 - 1500. Marshall (1986) has similar examples in his 'Tudor' type 1F, and dates them to the late 15th - early 16th century.
