An extremely worn and bent complete silver Post Medieval coin, probably fashioned into a love token from a sixpence of William III (1694-1702 AD). It is likely that this is a love token, as detail on the coin seems to have been purposefully worn away and the coin is bent, although not in the typical 'S' curve of most love tokens.
