Description: | A copper alloy pin, probably dating to the post-medieval period. The pin has a biconvex head 10.9mm in diameter, with a narrow pin shaft (now broken) below; only a short length of the shaft survives. The pin head and the shaft are both undecorated, and the shape is characteristic of 16th-century pins (e.g. LIN-488423, LIN-612C61, BUC-9A34C0 and SOM-EFB851, dated by being made from jettons; and LIN-8817C4, LON-930112,SUSS-EDDD63and WILT-30A8F7) . The metal is a dark reddish-brown colour. The surface is quite pitted, but much of the original patina still survives.
