Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Oxfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A cast lead alloy token or tally, probably dating from the later medieval to post-medieval periods. The token is bifacial, with a spoked wheel on the obverse and a six-pointed star or linear design on the reverse. The reverse is very worn, so that the design can only just be seen. It is uncertain what these objects were used for, but they may have operated as small change or possibly even game pieces.
