Record ID: LON-5D38F9
Object type: TOKEN
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Essex
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Complete Medieval to Post-Medieval, sub-circular, biface, lead alloy token dating from AD 1400-1800. This is a Powell type 1 token. The obverse face has a six-petalled flower with pellets between the petals. The reverse of the token is decorated with an indistinct motif.
Lead alloy tokens were used for many purposes during the Medieval and Post Medieval periods, and cast by both large and small industries. They are therefore very difficult to date, but those with initials are thought to date to the Post Medieval period.
