Description: | Large hollow silver biconvex button. The head is 18 mm in diameter and 12 mm thick. It is made from two pieces of silver sheet; the front has a central circular boss and the back has two neat circular holes for the release of hot gases during soldering. In the centre of the back is a loop with a long stem, made from a piece of biconvex-section silver wire. The loop is now slightly bent and retains some iron corrosion. The original thickness must have been c. 25 mm; it is now 22 mm.
