Ahhh so it is. I always look forward to your replies do you know what context it was used?Medieval lead token.
These lead tokens had many uses & where believed to have started as medieval hops tokens. You would get a token for every bag of hops you harvested. At the end of the day, your pay was worked out by how many you handed in. The idea was used by many land-owners, like potato farmers etc. Hence why they ended up in fields. However, they were also used by shops when small change was in short supply. Plus there were Boy Bishop Tokens, & a lead token for a game called 'shy cock'. Came from a game when they stoned a cockerel to death, that was tied to a stick. Later this went out of fashion & the boys would throw a lead token at a target.Ahhh so it is. I always look forward to your replies do you know what context it was used?
