Description: | A worn and bent silver sixpence of William III (AD 1694-1702). The coin is in poor condition with much wear however this is probably purposeful; the left and right sides of the obverse have been bent, forward on the left and back on the right; this indicates that the coin was probably used as a love token. Love tokens are usually made from silver (and occasionally gold) coins, often being rubbed smooth and bent in the fashion seen here. Due to the wear of the coin a more precise issue date cannot be given. Spink (2006) 3525. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
