A Post Medieval silver possible coin, smoothed to be thin and totally illegible, dating from about AD 1600 - 1750. The flan is stamped with the letters RP in the centre, under a very small broad arrow. The letters are in a Roman seriffed font and capitalised (uppercase) and the R has a foot that curves upwards. It is 20.6mm diameter, 0.6mm thick. 1.4g. The coin is possibly a sixpence of William III reused as a token. A slight bend across the flan hints that it may have once been double bent into an S shape; commonly done when making a charm from a coin and known as a "bender".
