Post Medieval lead token or possibly seal fragment. Lead alloy disk with a raised, cast or stamped, design of the initials IR or HR (ligated) within a line circle on one side. It is 14.9mm in diameter, 1.3mm thick and 1.70 grams in weight. The object is unusually small for a lead token and may be a broken part of a seal. The use of initials would suggest a Post Medieval date (1500-1850 AD) for either.
