Circular lead token, the face is decorated with a crowned fleur-de-lis in between the letters I R, the reverse is plain. Tokens baring a crowned fleur-de-lis were used as coin weights from the reign of Henry VI for the noble, half noble and quarter noble. Although most are manufactured in copper alloy there is one example made of lead (Biggs 1990, 72). Furthermore, I R is an abbreviation for James I Rex, therefore this is most likely a coin weight from the reign of James I. Biggs N, Coin-weights in England up to 1588.

A bifacial lead token. This token is unusual as it is similar to boy bishop tokens of the 15th century - the obverse has a design of four annulets around a central pellet bounded by a solid circle - between this circle and another outer circle is an inscription which is too worn to decipher. The reverse has the initials WL beneath a solid horizontal line - the design above this line is again illegible. The syle of the reverse suggests a 17th century date for this token and not 15th.

A lead alloy token of Elizabeth I (1558-1603), struck c. 1574 (North 1991: 140, ref: 2063). North comments: ‘There exist a number of lead or pewter pieces which have in the past been described as patterns or tokens. It is more probable however that they were political medalets or counters, as some would appear to relate to Mary, Queen of Scots, and the workmanship on most is rather crude. They are normally found in London, and were struck about 1574 (North 1991: 140).

Each half is approximately 19.4mm in diameter, and about 75% of each is conjoined, leaving an overhang on each side of around 25% of the token. Therefore, the total width of the find is 24.03mm.
