This is the obverse of a lead token bearing the initials IW. There is just the possibility of a legend, but not that convinced. The I is barred which may well mean it should be read as a J. These initials are those of the issuer presumably. Diameter 26mm. W. 7g. Thickness 1.5mm.
The piece is a metal detector find I have been asked to I.D. It has come from the Lune Valley in Cumbria. Recorded by the Portable Antiquities Scheme under LANCUM-9BBDE1

This is the obverse of a farthing token issued in 1844 by Joshua Rushbrook, ironmonger and grocer. He took over the business from John Austin, a miller, who also had identical tokens made but with his name on. The symbols are those of a curry comb and locks, the latter being locally made items. Such tokens were made illegal in 1862. The legend reads: LET WILLENHALL FLOURISH. 1844. The reverse gives the issuer's location etc.
Interestingly, this example is pierced, perhaps for attachment to something in case of loss, suggesting an employee of Rushbrook.

ala Santa Monica. I rode from SM down to Marina Del Ray and then back up to the Palisades. Venice was of course the most interesting.
