Very worn Medieval coin. Probably a halfpenny of Edward IV, as there appears to be a key to the right right of the neck. There may also be a letter to the left but it is too worn to decipher.

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A silver artefact which is probably a sewing-ring that would have been used in a similar way to a thimble. This artefact is made from a tube of white metal 0.3mm thick, now squashed into a flattened oval but presumed to have originally been formed as a circular tapering cylinder. No join is visible. The tube has a height of 22.32mm. The lower edge has been folded out and upwards to form a neat rim 0.7mm high, that increases the thickness at the rim to 0.8mm. The upper edge has no rim and this results in some uncertainty as to whether this is where the artefact originally terminated…
