augustus1 Pillar of the Community United States 549 Posts	Posted 01/24/2015 10:25 pm A friend had these three tokens and asked me for help. I don't know how to ID and date them, or value them. The square one is 29 mm and not lead. The larger round one is 30 mm and lead, I think. The smaller round one is 22 mm and I'd say lead. Thank you for any help you can offer.

Medieval Pillar of the Community 3772 Posts	Posted 01/24/2015 10:30 pm What material are those? Looks like lead. The top one with IHS would be a religious medallion. The second might be something similar referring to the plague, the reverse seems to be the shield of Austria. No idea on the third one though. Report this Post to the Staff

It also features initially IN HOC SIGNO vinces. The third item would appear to depict a gallows or gibbet. Report this Post to the Staff
