A post-medieval silver sixpence of Anne (1702-1714). Post-Union type, uncertain bust (Spink 3619-3624) dating to 1707-1711. Mint uncertain. Spink (2009, 366).
It measures 20.6 mm in diameter, 0.8 mm in thickness and weighs 2.42 g. The coin is worn on each face and has been deliberately smoothed and appears to have been bent into a very gentle S shape. These features suggest it was re-used as a love token.
