A small, silver token. It is overprinted and this obscures a lot of the detail. Apparent is the word PORT, and the letters M, M, F, cut by a larger curve or letter C. Although it is probably silver, it is not possible to determine its age and it is unlikely to be over 300 years old and therefore it does not qualify as Treasure under the terms of the Treasure Act 1996. Dimensions: 15mm long and 15mm wide, weighs 1.24g

A love token formed from a silver coin. Obverse: Worn, no visible decoration or legend. Reverse: Worn, no visible decoration or legend. The decoration on the coin has been intentionally worn away to create a silver love token.

An intentionally worn silver coin, possibly a sixpence of William III (AD 1694-1702), probably intentionally worn and countermarked for use as a 'slap' token, or possibly a love token.  Both faces of the coin are worn to blank and are therefore illegible. One face is stamped with the letters N N, in differing fonts, one roughly above the other. It appears that there was also an attempt on this side to stamp the letter W multiple times. On the other face, roughly in the centre of the coin, the letters WW and P are stamped. The WW sits perpendicular to the P.  Measure…
