Description: | An extremely worn silver coin, deliberately bent in two places to make an S-shaped profile. These are known as 'love tokens', which usually date to roughly 1500-1700 AD. Obverse: An outline of parts of the bust are visible, and the letters MUS. The hairstyle of the figure interrupts the legend around the coin. Reverse: traces of four crowns are visible at quarterly intervals around the edge. The coin appears to be a William III sixpence, possibly like that minted in Chester in 1697.
