Description: | Copper-alloy farthing. The coin is too worn to determine the ruler but it is certainly post-medieval in date. The coin has been bent out of shape, probably for use as a love token. The practice of bending coins out of shape and presenting them to others as a gesture of love was common from the late 17th century until the 19th century. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Brindle, Tom - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
