Description: | A heavily worn post-medieval silver coin (probably a Sixpence) which has been converted into a (?love) token. The surfaces of the coin appear to have been deliberately scrubbed to remove most of the original detail. The coin has then been bent twice and stamped. On one side is a single stamp bearing the letters 'CW' or 'GW' within a rectangular border. On the opposite side is a crowned letter 'W', possibly representing William III. In addition to this main symbol are four other punched letters, all of which appear to be either 'W' or 'M'.The piece measures 18.9mm in diameter, 0.3mm thick and weighs 1.68g.
