Description: | A complete, Post Medieval, struck or hammered, silver alloy (probably debased silver) foreign coin, possibly a stuiver from Zeeland, now part of the Netherlands. Obverse: Inscription probably in three lines and date below. Inscription: ZEE[LANDIA] [DATE]. Reverse: Ornate possible tree design terminating in a bundle of arrows. Inscription: '2' 'S'. The coin is difficult to identify due to the fact that it rolled up around a fragment of cord which could have been to form part of a necklace or a convenient way to carry a coin without a purse. The coin is rather worn, has an attractive silver colour but some pale green verdigris, small, surface patches and a little corrosion. The coin is likely to date to 1700-1725AD. Ref. Standard Catalogue of World Coins Vol. 2, Chester L. Krause & Clifford Mishler, Krause Publications USA, page 2197. The coin is 20.2mm long, 8.04mm (Folded) wide, 7.11mm thick, diameter 20.2mm and weighs 1.2g. The coin has been reported to the FLO who is quering the Treasure aspect.
