A post-medieval lead-alloy token of 16th-century date (North 2063). The bifacially decorated disc is not quite circular, having a straight edge at one point of the circumference. North (1960, 112) notes that such pieces were probably medalets rather than tokens as some appear to relate to Mary, Queen of Scots. These rare pieces are normally found in London, and were struck about 1574 (ibid., 112). Examples can be also found illustrated in Fletcher (2003, 49).
