A complete uniface Token of Medieval to Post Medieval date (AD 1250-1800). Powell Type 30. One face of the token has a cross and pellet design with one pellet in each quarter, the other side is blank. The metal is a light cream in colour Diameter: 19.48mm, Thickness: 2.23mm, Weight: 4.0g. 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. Therefore those with simple designs are given a more general Medieval to Post Medieval date.

A lead-alloy 18th or 19th century bag seal issued by Rigden Brewery in Faversham, Kent. Obverse: legend in two line, with lower legend curving upwards.
