An extremely worn pierced copper alloy disc of uncertain date. Although no detail remains on either side, this disc is the right size and thickness to have been a Roman As or Dupondius. It is possible to see abrasion lines where the surface has either been cleaned recently or perhaps where the surface detail was smoothed away. The possible coin has been modified; it is pierced with a circular hole on one end, presumably to facilitate suspension as a pendant. The patina is of a deep even green colour, the quality of which is in keeping with coins from the Roman imperial period. Bec…

An extremely worn and bent silver 'Tealby' (Cross-and-crosslets) penny of Henry II (AD 1154-1189). The obverse is almost entirely illegible, however it is possible to see the beaded decoration of the crowned bust's collar similar to Spink 1337E. The reverse legend is almost completely illegible, however it is possible to see 'ON G/C[...]' which suggests that the mint was Gloucester or perhaps Canterbury or Carlisle. Moneyer unknown. Cf. North 1994 Vol I, Nos. 952-61, dating to c. 1154-1180.

The coin has suffered post-depositional circumferential losses. Cf. North Vol I, Nos. 986-988.

Object type: TOKEN
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: East Sussex
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A cast lead alloy Post Medieval uniface token, c. 1550-1800 AD. Powell type 2. It is discoidal in shape and grey in colour. The token is decorated with raised initial 'TH' on one side and the other is plain. It measures 19.92 mm in diameter, 2.36 mm thick and weighs 5.5 grams. Lead tokens had a wide variety of uses and were made locally; they are therefore hard to date precisely. Those with intials are thought to be Post Medieval in date, c. 1550-1800 AD.

Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: East Sussex
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A cast lead alloy Medieval or Post Medieval token, probably uniface, in poor condition, c. 1200-1800 AD. Probably Powell Type 30. The token is flat and generally oval in shape. It seems to have been decorated with only a simplistic raised line running through the centre on one side and perhaps a pellet. The other face has three incised lines on the surface, but this seems to be due to damage, not purposeful decoration. It measures 27.45 mm long, 23.06 mm wide, 3.03 mm thick and weighs 10.73 grams. Lead tokens were locally manufactured and easily distributed; as such, they are diffic…

A complete cast copper alloy Medieval annular buckle and pin, c. mid 13th-c. mid 15th centuries AD. The annular buckle frame has two slightly thinner areas opposite from one another that seem to correspond to where the pin and belt would have rubbed. The pin is made of a thick sub-triangular cast piece of tapering metal, with the thicker end loosely curled around the frame and the flat narrow end used for securing the buckle to a belt strap. The pin is decorated on the outer surface of its base with a transverse moulded ridge. There is no further decoration. The buckle frame measures …

Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: East Sussex
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete cast copper alloy animal rumbler or 'crotal' bell dating to the early Post Medieval period, c. 16th-17th century AD. The bell is spherical in form with a raised circumferential join and an integrally cast sub-rectangular suspension loop with circular hole. Both hemispheres of the bell are decorated: the upper with an overall sunburst pattern and the lower with an elaborate fishscale pattern. This combination of decorative elements seems to have been popular during the 16th to 17th centuries, but rarely found on bells made after the 17th century. The integrally cast s…

An extremely worn and flattened silver penny, probably of Stephen (1135-1154 AD). Coin Type BMC vii; Awbridge (c. 1154-1158 AD). The obverse depicts a crowned and diademed bearded bust facing three-quarters left, holding sceptre in right hand; obverse legend reads: [STI]EFN[E] (R?). The reverse seems to depict a cross voided within a beaded quatrefoil; in each angle, a fleur springing from the quatrefoil. The reverse legend is nearly missing, but 'ARN' is clearly visible partway through, suggesting that the moneyer may have been Arnwi, listed as a moneyer from Lincoln; this informatio…

Object type: COIN
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: East Sussex
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
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. On the obverse 'LL' remains from the legend and the profile of the ruler is consistent with portraits of William III, further suggesting that this identification is correct in spite of the coin's poor condition. It measures 19.17 mm long, 15.88 mm wide, 0.…
