Title |
A Medieval Token |
||
Description |
English: A complete lead alloy token dating to the late Medieval to Post Medieval period (c. AD 1400-1600). The token has a cast design of a long cross on one face with a single pellet in each quarter. The reverse is flat and undecorated. The token can be classified as Powell Type 14. The token has a dark grey patina.
Such tokens have been suggested as imitations of Medieval hammered long cross pennies. However, lead tokens had a wide variety of potential uses such as use as tallies, gaming pieces, tickets, weights, etc. and are believed to have been locally produced; they are therefore difficult to date precisely. See PAS records <a href="https://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/record/id/912333">ASHM-EE2406</a>; <a href="https://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/record/id/913816">WMID-C53655</a> and <a href="https://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/record/id/909779">SUR-5AF106</a> for comparable examples. The overall dimensions are as follows: 20.74mm in length, 19.88mm in width, 4.65mm in thickness and 7.62g in weight. |
