Description: A Gold decorated posy ring dating from 1400 to 1650AD. The outer edge has a fleury design with an inscription of “YUR COURIUR or COUENIR” in blackletter script. The inside of the band is plain. It is also possible that the inscription is ‘MON COEUR’ or something similar, though the blackletter is difficult to decipher. The ring is D shaped in section. The ring appears to be slightly earlier in date to the majority of similar rings on the database because of the use of blackletter script. Dimensions: The ring is 19.8mm in diameter, 3.2mm wide and …
