Object type: COIN WEIGHT
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A cast lead 15th century coin weight. The weight is disc shaped, and unifaced, with a crown stamp still visible; although it probably also originally had a lys stamp this is too worn to identify. There are no circles on the weight. Probably for weighing nobles or fraction thereof. (see Withers 1993, p12 nos 95 & 96).

Object type: WEIGHT
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A cast lead weight, probably a trade weight. Probably originally a flat disc the edge has been cut off. There is a central stamp mark of 3 parallel lines inside a circular border, presumably referring to 3 units of whatever the measure was (ounces?). If it is a trade weight it probably dates from between the late medieval period and the late eighteenth century (after which even provincial weights started to be made in brass until lead was outlawed in the 1830s).

Record ID: WMID-8FBDE4
Object type: TOKEN
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Staffordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
(1) A cast lead token bearing an impersonal stock design of a six-foil, probably dating to the 18th century AD (diameter: 22.1mm; thickness: 1.9mm; weight: 6.21g). The reverse has evidence of a rim but is devoid of decoration, which suggests it may be eighteenth century as the designs persisted, and the later derivatives bore a design on the face only. The token is in a worn but fair condition.
A similar 17th century design is illustrated in Mitchiner & Skinner's 'English Tokens, c. 1425 to 1672' within The British Numismatic Journal Volume 54, 1984, page 163 & plate 22, ref no 47.

Object type: TOKEN
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Staffordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A cast lead token bearing a similar design to an impersonal stock design of a cross in a circle with a pellet in each quarter (diameter: 21.1mm; thickness: 2.7mm; weight: 6.06g). The reverse has evidence of a rim, as well as deliberate marking in the form of scratches. There is no original decoration on the reverse, suggesting a possible dating to the 18th century AD, as these designs persisted. However, these later derivatives bear a design on the face only, which is evident on this artefact. The token is worn but in a fair condition.
A similar 17th century design is illustrated…

Object type: TOKEN

County: Staffordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A cast lead token bearing a pictorial-geometric design, with evidence of a line across the diameter on the reverse (diameter: 21.9mm; thickness: 2.1mm; weight: 5.51g).
This token possibly dates to the Early Tudor period (late 15th-16th century AD), and is similar to examples illustrated in Mitchiner & Skinner's 'English Tokens c. 1425-1672' within The British Numismatic Journal Volume 54, 1984, page 151 & plate 10, ref no 98-9.
This token is worn but in a fair condition.
