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.
Obverse: An outline of parts of the bust are visible, and the letters MUS. The hairstyle of the figure interrupts the legend around the coin.
Reverse: traces of four crowns are visible at quarterly intervals around the edge.
The coin appears to be a William III sixpence, possibly like that minted in Chester in 1697. | 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 |
