Object type: COIN
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Cheshire West and Chester
Workflow stage: Published
A post-medieval gilded lead-alloy contemporary copy of a Spanish 4 reales of Philip II (1556-1598) or Philip III (1598-1621). The addition of the Hapsburg heraldry to the Spanish shield dates the 'coin' to after 1570. It is unclear whether this coin copies a Spanish-minted variety or one minted in the New World, although it may be copying the slightly squashed shape of the 'cob' coins minted in South America. The weight, at 6.8g matches the listed weights for 2 reales rather than 4 reales. The gilding would result in the coin not being an adequate imitation for circulation and woul…

Object type: PLAQUE
Broad period: ROMAN
County: Darlington
Workflow stage: Published
A copper-alloy sheet or plaque of uncertain function, probably dating to the third century AD. The sheet is flat and square, with each of its corners folded over on itself. Originally, the sheet was tightly folded but was opened and flattened by the finders. The sheet is stamped with the image of a male bust facing right. The bust appears to be wearing a lion's skin over his head. It is therefore possible that the male bust may represent either: a) Commodus in the guise of Hercules. Indeed, denarii of Commodus with such a portrait type may have served as a template for this image (…
