A clipped late Medieval silver half groat, probably of Henry VII (1485-1509 AD). Canterbury Mint, of Episcopal Issue by Archbiship Morton (1486-1500 AD) as indicated by the 'M' in the centre of the reverse. Initial mark is probably a long cross fichee, dating the coin more specifically to between c. 1485-1490 AD.<\/p>\n
The obverse depicts a bust with double-arched unjewelled crown facing with possible quattrefoil on either side of the neck; legend reads: + [......] DI GR[A] REX ANGL [Z] FRA. The end to this legend is more common to that of Henry VIII; however, it is unlikely that this coin should be attributed to the later period. There are lis in the cusps. The reverse depicts a long cross pattee with three pellets in each quadrant and a Lombardic 'M' in the centre; the outer legend reads: POS[VI] DEVM A-DIVTOR-EM MEV; inner legend reads: CIVITAS CANTOR.

An incomplete cast copper alloy early Post Medieval purse bar, c. 1500-1550 AD. Originally, the purse bar would have comprised of two sections; this segment is one half of the horizontal bar. The purse bar has a rectangular central block with a notch on the bottom surface and a circular hole penetrating the centre, from which one of the two original short, circular-sectioned bars project. The remaining half terminates in a flattened rounded end-knop. The central rectangular block bears traces of a punched design. It measures 40.13 mm long, 18.47 mm high at midde, 6.92 mm thick at middle, with a 5.58 mm approximate shaft diameter; the knop measures 14.89 mm long by 12.98 mm wide; the bar weighs 16.07 grams.<\/p>\n
The purse bar can be classified as a Ward-Perkins (1940, 167, Fig. 52) Type B8. This type is characterised by the absence of pendant loops and the presence of lower notches to facilitate a vertical shank and upper arm. Types B6 and B7 are similar, but with larger central blocks; the missing segments of this purse bar would have aided in positive identification. Such types date from the first half of the sixteenth century.<\/p>","findofnote":null,"secwfstage":"4","updated":"2012-04-12 16:37:00","county":"EAST SUSSEX","knownas":"Herstmonceux","fourFigure":"TQ6211","lat":"50.877339","lon":"0.311905","easting":"562745","northing":"111195","i":"377341","filename":"SUSS-6EF6C6PMedPurseBar.jpg"},{"id":"497204","old_findID":"PUBLIC-1F4F32","objecttype":"FLUE TILE","broadperiod":"ROMAN","dateFrom":"43","dateTo":"410","created":"2012-04-08 21:28:35","description":"

A cast lead alloy weight, probably dating to between the Medieval to Post Medieval period, c. 12th-17th century AD. The weight is square in plan, with a domed upper surface and a flat base, resulting in a sub-trapezoidal cross-section. The upper surface is decorated with a large raised long cross with three edges of the cross remaining; the three ends represent different types of cross, one being pattee, one pommee and one undetermined with a large angular knop at the end. The fourth end of the cross is missing due to old damage and a cut mark crosses through the incomplete arm of the cross down through nearly the centre. Because the weight is decorated with cross types similar to Medieval long cross coinage and later types, it seems likely that this weight can be dated to the period suggested above. The weight measures 30.15 mm long, 28.64 mm wide, 11.03 mm thick and weighs 68.86 grams.<\/p>","findofnote":null,"secwfstage":"4","updated":"2012-02-19 19:19:00","county":"KENT","knownas":"Near Tenterden","fourFigure":"TQ8830","lat":"51.041115","lon":"0.693155","easting":"588898","northing":"130313","i":"370771","filename":" SUSS-1496B3.jpg"},{"id":"489048","old_findID":"SUSS-BD0C75","objecttype":"COIN","broadperiod":"MEDIEVAL","dateFrom":"1272","dateTo":"1377","created":"2012-02-15 15:35:37","description":"
A worn and bent silver Medieval long cross penny of Edward I-III (1272-1377 AD). Mint: Canterbury. A portion of the coin corresponding to the beginning of the obverse legend has been bent at a 90-degree angle. The obverse bears traces of a crowned bust facing and its legend is inscribed: EDWAR(R?) ANGL DNS hYB. Unfortunately not enough of the style of the legends, nor attributes of the obverse depiction remain for a full identification. Possibilities based upon mint and legend include: Edward I: Types 10ab and 10cf; Edward II: Type 11; and Edward III: Type 15d. Based upon the lettering style of the A and N in the obverse legend, it seems likely that this is a penny of Edward I, Class 10cf (1301-1310); however, because of the limitations noted above, this is a tentative identification only. <\/p>\n ","findofnote":null,"secwfstage":"4","updated":"2012-02-20 13:49:00","county":"KENT","knownas":"Near Tenterden","fourFigure":"TQ8832","lat":"51.063794","lon":"0.693329","easting":"588818","northing":"132835","i":"370777","filename":"SUSS-BD0C75.jpg"},{"id":"485241","old_findID":"SUSS-6C6B82","objecttype":"COIN","broadperiod":"POST MEDIEVAL","dateFrom":"1694","dateTo":"1799","created":"2012-01-30 16:35:04","description":"
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.

A Post-Medieval cast copper alloy knife end-cap in the form of two conjoined and symmetrical stylised horse's hooves, c. 1500-1600 AD. Each half of the pommel is sub-oval in cross-section and curves throughout its length. Each shoe has a horizontal groove on the face, and is delineated by a transverse groove at either side. At the base a rectangular slot is filled with the remains of a corroded iron tang. It measures 10.46 mm long, 17.77 mm wide, 5.81 mm thick and weighs 3.4 grams.
