Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow status: Published Find published

Five worn early modern sixpences, probably all of William III (1694-1702), found separately in different locations. Three are certainly of William III, the others being too worn to be certain. The coins are bent in a distinctive Z fashion, suggesting that they are love tokens.

Their weights are 2.49g, 2.00g, 2.05g,1.94g and 2.16g.

For sixpences of WIlliam III, see Spink, Coins of England (2021), pp. 397-400
