Medieval or Post Medieval lead token. The token is plain on the reverse and on the front carries a design of a short cross in a central circle surrounded by a second outer circle which is divided into four quadrants allighed diagonally to the central cross. There is a single pellet in the centre of each of these quadrants. Lead tokens are notoriously difficult to date with possible dates ranging from c.1200-1800. Ones carrying initials are usually deemed to be Post Medieval (1600-1800) and others which seem to mimic long cross pennies are deemed to be Medieval (1300-1500). The m…

A lead-alloy token. It is probably intended to be circular, but actually measures 21.5mm by 20.1mm and is 4.1mm thick. It weighs 9.63gm. There is a design on both faces but its interpretation is not clear. It is basically six radiating lines, but they meet at one side rather than in the middle, and they do not all spring from one place. In the largest angle is an extra curved line. Little is know about the precise date and function of these tokens. A late medieval or post medieval date seems most likely. See “Leaden Tokens and Tallies” by Edward Fletcher for more information.

Lead-alloy boy-bishop token dating from the late medieval period, i.e. c. AD1300-1600, commemorating the yearly election of a 'boy bishop' who would 'hold office' from Dec 6th to Dec 28th.

The obverse of the token depicts a bishop with mitre with a letter (illegible, possibly a Greek Omega) to the right and left of the bust. The inscription reads [SAN]CTE.NIMOLAE.[ORA.PRO.NOB]. The reverse shows a long cross dividing the legend, reading: AVE REX GNTIS ANGLORVM[ILE?] (Hail King of the English people) and…

A late medieval or post medieval lead token. The token is sub-circular and is 25.8mm long, 23.3mm wide and 3.5mm thick.

There does not appear to be any design on the reverse but there is a deep groove across one edge that looks like accidental damage. The token has a grey and tan patina which continues over the damage showing that it is not recent. The token is similar to ones pictured on page 76 of Leaden Tokens and Tallies by…
