Unique ID: SWYOR-7E5853
Object type certainty: Certain
A copper alloy Post medieval foreign coin; a Courte of the Spanish Netherlands, Philip II (1555-1598), produced between 1556 and 1571. It has a diameter 17.51mm, thickness 0.70mm, weight 1.18g. It may be a contemporary copy. See Van Gelder and Hoc 1960, no: 229.
Notes:
This object and the attached records were recovered from a site which may be the location of an Early Medieval moot site, though later disturbance makes the site difficult to interpret. Archaeological work including trial trenching in advance of development has not yet revealed any further evidence. Most of the finds recovered through metal detecting are Early Medieval; material of this date is rare in West Yorkshire.
