Title
BUCKLE
Description
English: A complete lead alloy Uniface Token of Post-Medieval date (AD 1500-1800). Powell type 1. The object is a flat disk with an incised motif on one face. The motif is a four petaled flower, each petal has a bifurcated outer edge, the other face is undecorated.

The metal is light grey and cream in colour with a predominantly smooth patina.

Diameter: 29.78mm, Thickness: 2.34mm, Weight: 11.1g

Lead tokens had a wide variety of potential uses such as tallies, gaming pieces, tickets, weights, etc. and are believed to have been locally produced; they are therefore difficult to date precisely. Those carrying initials are generally deemed to be post-Medieval in date (1500-1850) (Fletcher 2005, 50-66), those which seem to mimic Medieval penny designs were previously deemed to be 15th-16th century (Fletcher 2005, 40-45) but a number of examples combined between the medieval and initial types make this unlikely and the usually c. 1500-1850 date is suggested here
The Powell classification system, in which there are over 30 categories, attempts to classify these leaden tokens according to the designs featured on each face, but it does not assign any chronology.
