Description: | A silver coin of unknown ruler, likely Post-Medieval in date. The size of this coin is consistent with an issue of William III (AD 1694-1702).The object is a smooth and worn milled silver shilling-size coin that has been stamped to possibly be reused as a love token. All of the coin's original detail has been lost and on one side a stamped 'G' is located just off-centre. The opposing face is completely smooth with no stamps or distinguishing marks visible. Coins of William III were commonly converted into love tokens and this example is the correct size for a shilling of William III although no detail remains to confirm this identification.The coin measures 24.64mm in diameter, is 1.27mm thick and weighs 4.2g.
