Copper alloy token - possibly dating to the post medieval period (probably 1600-1700). The token is extremely worn and the majority of the design and inscription has been lost. A positive identification has not been possible because of this. It is most likely to fit into the tradition of token coinage dating to the restoration in the Monarch 1660-1680.

An incomplete post medieval (1500-1620) cast lead alloy (pewter) pin. The fragment consists of a sub-spherical decorated pin head (terminal). A small oval shaped scar is present on the underside of the pinhead. This is the point where the pin shaft would have joined the head. This damage is relatively old as a patina has developed over the break. It is highly likely that the pin head is hollow, being formed from two parts joined by solder, the pin shaft would have been attached through a oval slot in the lower half. A clear longitudinal seam can be seen at the mid point of the head. Th…
