Description
English: A Medieval to Post Medieval lead alloy uniface token of Powell type 2 (initials) .

The token is broadly circular in plan and sub-rectangular in cross section. One surfaces has a worn, cast, raised design consisting of the intials T. W bordered above and below by raised cross hatching. The opposite surface is flat and plain.

The token is a medium brown colour.

It has a diameter of 20.3mm, is 2.2mm thick and weighs 4.34 grams

Lead tokens had a wide variety of uses including as weights, tickets and gaming tokens. They are believed to be locally produced for a local use, making precise dating difficult. Those with coin-like designs were previously thought to be Medieval but Post-medieval moulds for this type have also been found. See Powell: Classification for Lead Tokens online
