Lead token ID help
« on: January 17, 2009, 05:19:49 pm »
lead, 14mm x 14mm
obv: figure standing facing, holding (something?) in r. hand, staff in l.
rev: two clasped hands with palm branch

I believe this may be a Roman lead tessera. But its also been suggested to me that this may be an Indian token. Any ideas?

Hi Ardatirion
It is a  Roman lead tessera.  Perhaps theater ticket.
