Small group of four coins all found together. Either deliberately concealed or lost together as a 'purse drop'. The coins (listed in detail below) are: one copper and one tin farthing of Charles II, and two tin farthings of James II. It is notable that only farthings were found.

Coin 1: Copper alloy farthing of Charles II dating from 1672 to 1679. Obverse: Cu…

Post Medieval cast lead-tin alloy (pewter) circular double faced token of Powell type 2 / 21 (c. AD 1500-1800).

On one face is a raised design, slightly unclear but probably the initials HP or HB retrograde. On the other is a raised design of a four spoked wheel, four straight lines radiate out from a central ring and dot hub to meet a circular rim all within an outer plain line border.
