Description: | An extremely worn and bent complete silver Post Medieval coin, probably fashioned into a love token from a sixpence of William III (1694-1702 AD). It is likely that this is a love token, as detail on the coin seems to have been purposefully worn away and the coin is bent, although not in the typical 'S' curve of most love tokens. On the obverse 'LL' remains from the legend and the profile of the ruler is consistent with portraits of William III, further suggesting that this identification is correct in spite of the coin's poor condition. It measures 19.17 mm long, 15.88 mm wide, 0.79 mm thick, with a suggested diameter for the original coin as approximately 18.8 mm; weight: 1.87 grams.
