Description: | A copper alloy Post Medieval coin, perhaps a halfpenny of William III, or a halfpenny of George III, which has been reused by being worn smooth and then stamped. It probably dates from about AD 1700 - 1900. There are two stamped marks on the probable obverse: a possible dagger and crown, near the centre, and on the reverse it is stamped with a different mark 4 times, at different angles. The mark on the reverse is a fleur over II. For a discussion of smoothed and stamped coins, see LANCUM-BBA1A3. The coin could have been used as a weight, token, love token or lucky charm, or may have been used to test out a punch. The coin is 28.44mm in diameter, 2.03mm thick and 7.81g.
