A copper alloy coin of post medieval date (c.AD 1600-1750). The object is bent on two sides, forming an S-shape. The surface of the coin is very worn and corroded, so any inscriptions or designs are no longer visible. Coins bent into an S-shape are often referred to as a "love token", but may also have served as a good luck charm. Dr Kevin Leahy notes in FAKL-A043BC: 'Love tokens' were made using coins dating from the time of Elizabeth I (1558-1603) to the reign of Ann (1702-1714) with some Georgian examples. They were particularly common in the r…
