See ring AF.1353 in British Museum collections, with same inscription and a maker's mark (JC in rectangular punch) the same as that on a mourning ring of dated to 1744. Date: Late 17th - early 18th century. Dimensions: Weight 1.30g. Width 2mm. Thickness 1mm. External diameter. In absence of an identifiable maker's mark this ring cannot be securely dated to pre-1711, and as such falls outside the provisions of the Treasure Act 1996.
