LT02

Culture: Post Medieval

Material: Lead
Size: 18mm x 20mm
Weight: 4.85 grams

Notes: Token is disc shaped. One face has a raised design of a 6 petalled flower with a raised circular pellet centrally and one off to the side. It is probably that when new there were raised pellets in between each of the flower petals, although this is not certain. The reverse face has two groupings of three, raised pellets surrounding the letters W H or H M. The token is worn on the daisy face but in good condition on the lettering side. The casting is off-centre on both sides.
