Description: | A silver coin, probably a sixpence, of an uncertain post-medieval ruler. The coin has been polished smooth removing all traces of original imagery and text and has been counter stamped with the capital letter "W" on one side.Numerous examples of counter struck coins have been recorded on the Portable Antiquities Scheme database such as LIN-D95AA5, SUR-3669E5 and HAMP-5EDEA2. the reason for this practice is however not fully understood and may suggest the coins reuse as tokens, love tokens or trial pieces.
