A modern white metal copy of a post-medieval halfgroat of Henry VIII (1509-1547), copying either the third or post-humous coinage.

The flan of the coin is too round for a hammered coin of this period, and the edges of the coin a flat with sharp corners. The initial mark (cross with pellet centre) is not one known for Henry VIII and the inscriptions on both obverse and reverse contain inaccuracies- the end of obverse inscription reads [ ]RSh; the r…

A lead alloy miscast token, probably Post Medieval (1500-1700 AD). The two halves of the mould failed to unite creating this token which has its two halves overlapping. Both sides have the initials WR in retrograde contained within an upper and lower border of vertical lines, all in high relief. Each half is approximately 19.4mm in diameter, and about 75% of each is conjoined, leaving an overhang on each side of around 25% of the token. Therefore, the total width of the find is 24.03mm.

A complete Post Medieval bifaced lead alloy token (16th-17th century). Both sides have been cast with a raised design featuring a central motif inside a circular border. On one side the design is a boat on the sea surrounded by a nonsense legend on one side; the other side has a heraldic shield inside a border of radiate symbols with differing cross-bars. Both of these borders are perhaps imitating a written legend. The token has a dark grey-black patina. Egan (2005) illustrates tokens with either a boat, p. 168 ref. 899, or an heraldic device, p. 168 ref. 894, but not a token displayi…

A complete Post Medieval lead alloy two part cloth seal, 1500-1700 AD. One disc from the two-part cloth seal is missing and the tab which connects the two has been twisted and is now lying flat against the remaining disc. This was probably done in order to snap off the other half of the seal. The centre of the face of the seal has a raised circular platform, which has the moulded lettering “GK” with a pellet in between. Aside from these initials there is no other decoration, and so the seal has very few diagnostic features to assign it a more specific date. There is a small area o…

A Post-Medieval French copper alloy coin: double tournois of Louis XIII (AD 1610-1643). Barrie Cook, The British Museum, states that it is stylistically a little unusual, however, there were lots of contemporary counterfeits of the French copper coinage at this time, and it can be hard to be sure on worn specimens. The left-facing bust is not usual, but did appear on some issues at the end of the reign, so it could belong to the 1640s.
