They are linked by an elongated oval silver-wire chain link. The discs have down-turned edges and are both decorated with two hearts (not conjoined), with a single two-arched crown above. One disc is slightly misshapen. 27.6 x 13.7 x 9.8mm. Weight: 2.04g.For another complete and very similar type see TAR 2007: no. 396. The find contains a minimum of 10% silver and predates 1710.
