The medallion depicts multiple religious symbols portraying on the obverse a Teutonic style cross with alternating long and short lines suggesting the radiating sun. The reverse again shows the radiating sun with a sword projecting through a bible, the empty cross, the 10 commandments, a Bishops mitre, a chalice and palm fronds all projecting from what appears to be an altar. The legend around the centre of…

Double-headed lead medallion, depicting two faces - one on either side. This item has been discussed in the Searcher (May 1986). One of the readers, Anthony Runge, writes: "... it dates from 1678, the year of the Popish plot. In that year, Sir Edmund Berry (Edmondbury) Gofrey, a magistrate, was strangle with his own cravat at the watergate of Somerset House. His body was hidden for a few days, then taken to Primrose Hill, at that time still in the countryside, and dumped in a ditch transfixed with his own sword. This sordid little episode, for which a number ofpeople were later hanged…

Copper alloy coin or medallion with a diameter of 36mm and a weight of 13.23g. This piece is incredibly worn. On the obverse there is a faint trace of a bust right which might have the features of Carausius (AD 286-93) - sadly this cannot be captured on a photograph. Although this might seem far-fetched, the British Museum has a medallion of Carausius which measures 38mm in diameter and weighs 13.21g. The BM piece is made of orichalcum (brass) and appears to have been overstruck on an earlier dupondius of the first of second centuries AD. It is just possible that this new find is s…
