Description: | Copper-alloy farthing. The coin is too worn to determine the ruler but it is certainly post-medieval in date. The coin has been bent out of shape, probably for use as a love token. The practice of bending coins out of shape and presenting them to others as a gesture of love was common from the late 17th century until the 19th century. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 1675
