Object type: PIN
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Norfolk
Workflow stage: Published
Description: Incomplete post-medieval gilded silver pin. It has a globular head, now squashed to a flattish shape and therefore originally hollow. There is a pellet at the apex, and the head is divided into two hemispheres by two circumferential rows of filigree (twisted) wire around the widest point. Each hemisphere is decorated with a series of oval loops of filigree (from the photograph, they appear to be drop-shaped with the ends of the wires not perhaps meeting). The cylindrical shaft projects from the bottom, terminating in a jagged break. Discussion: This pinhead is clear…

Some pierced/modified coins can come within the remits of Treasure Act 1996, including all finds of pierced silver or gold coins up to AD 1180 and some thereafter depending upon the nature of the pi…
