Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A Medieval to Post Medieval cast lead uniface token of Powell type 6, c. AD 1250-1800. The token is circular in plan, one face decorated with a design which is probably intended to depict a boat or ship. The design appears to have been impressed into the surface of the token, leaving an incuse sub-circular field within a bulbous border and with the design raised within. The reverse has a similar field, but which is left blank. The unusual glossy surface is due to treatment applied by the finder.
