Title
A cast lead token dating to the 16th/ 17th century.
Description
English: A cast lead token (diameter: 23mm; thickness: 2mm; weight: 6.87g) decorated on both sides. On one side, there is a long cross marked with a pellet in the centre and at each of the four ends. Four other pellets appear between the arms of the cross. On the other side, a slightly irregular pellet which may be off-centre with linear markings or veins radiatting outwards, sometimes in a 'T' shape.

This example is slightly similar to a late 16th century/ Elizabethan derivative token (Mitchiner & Skinner, 1984, pages 122 & 156, Plate 15, No 17).
