Each of the discs has a concave reverse and the front surface is decorated with an engraved pattern. The pattern has a central motif of a six pointed star burst of radiating lines within a scalloped border. There is no maker's mark visible on the link.Dora Thornton confirms this is less than 300 years old and so does not fall under the Treasure Act.Dimensions: Diameter of each disc: 9.65mm; length: 20.62mm; weight: 1.05g.Identification by Dora Thornton, Curator, Renaissance Collections, Department of Prehistory and Europe; The British Museum.
