LEADEN TOKENS. By G. C. Yates, F.S.A. Trans. Lane, and Chesh. Antiq. Soc., x. 111 -121. The use of lead tokens by way of additional coinage of small value arose owing to the small supply of Royal coinage. The practice flourished despite constant laws and edicts against it. Erasmus notes, in 1499, the “plumbeos Anglite” then in common circulation. They were used chiefly in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, and bore generally very rough representations. See Cleveland’s Midsummer Moon, where he writes, “the King’s image is sometimes stamped on lead, and nature’s mint coynes monsters.” CATALOGUE OF LEADEN AND PEWTER TOKENS ISSUED IN IRELAND.
