Description: | Post medieval silver fourpence of Charles II, 18mm in diameter, 0.5mm thick and weighing 1.81 grams. The coin has a good silver patina and is only slightly worn. It has been bent in two places giving it an S shaped profile. This was probably done for use as a love token?. The obverse shows right facing bust. Inscription reads CAROLUSII DEI GRATIA. Reverse shows cross made up of intertwining C's with symbols of each kingdom in between (harp, thistle, rose, fluer de lis) with crown above in border. Inscription reads MAG.BR.FRA.ET.HIB.REX.1679
