Description: | A silver cuff link (one of a pair) dating from the Modern period, probably from 1850 onwards. The cuff link has been made from two silver Indian coins. They have been identified by the British Museum as British India rupees from the Bengal Presidency minted in Banares and they date from the late 18th to mid 19th century. A loop has been soldered to one face of each coin, and they are joined by a chain of three links, all made of silver. The cuff link could have been made any time after 1850. As it is not 300 years old, this object does not need to be declared as Treasure under the 1996 Act. The coins are 14.83mm in diameter and 1.72mm thick. The chain is 24mm long. Each link is 6.85mm long by 4.33mm wide and 1.38mm thick.
