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.
There are some spots of corrosion visible which appear to be centred on the points at which the coin was bent. The indentations of the sharp point around which the coin was bent can also be felt on the reverse.
The coin is very worn, but a faint outline of a figure and part of the legend is just visible. It is most likely to be a William III shilling. | 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 | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Nina Steele | Identifier: | http://www.finds.org.uk/database/artefac... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
