Description: | Very worn post medieval hammered silver coin. Stamped with an 'H' on one side and possibly an 'A' on the other. There are several deliberate scratches on the face of the coin. These scratches and stamps appear to have been added to the coin after its original design had been worn or deliberately smoothed. The coin is likely to have been used as a love token. In the late 17th century to early 19th century, coins were deliberately smoothed and presented to others as a gesture of love. They were often stamped with the initials of the sender or recipient, or were marked with symbols of love. | 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: | 1650
