This small, lead token, created circa 1791 by the artist Rensen, is a fascinating example of 18th-century religious iconography. The front depicts a stylized cross with the letters "IHS" within it. This is a monogram representing the name of Jesus, a common symbol in Christian art. The reverse side of the token is plain, suggesting it may have been used as a small devotional object or a form of currency within a particular community. This small but significant object offers a glimpse into the religious practices of the time.
