A Post-Medieval copper alloy coin from India, probably the denomination called a paisa, probably dating to AD 1790-1830. A close parallel seems to be SWYOR-B55B81, "a Paisa of Gwalior State, Gwalior Fort mint, struck in the name of the Mughal Emperor Muhammad Akbar II, during the reign of Maharaja Daulat Rao Scindia (1796-1825)". It is common to find Indian coins in Britain, probably because they were brought here by people serving in the colonial Empire in India.

A Post-Medieval lead token. The object is folded in two places, making the design difficult to decifer. One face may possibly have a cross in its centre, with a border around the outside containing an unclear design, or possibly even a legend. The other face is similar, but possibly with a geometric, flower-like design in its centre. Similar tokens can be seen in Egan (2005, p.168, fig.164) particularly no's: 892, 894, 895 & 896, which are all dated to the later 16th century, suggesting a similar date for this example.

A late Medieval lead token. There is a raised cross on one face, with a pellet in each quarter - echoing the long cross coinage of an earlier date. There is perhaps the remains of some further detail on the other face, but this is too worn to make out. The object bears strong similarities to a token illustrated in Fletcher (2005, p.40), which is suggested to be of 15th century date and is one of a series from this period that appear to have been strongly influenced by contemporary coin designs. The illustrated example is decorated with a cross formed from two sets of parallel lines, w…

A cast copper alloy ecu of France coin weight of probable post-medieval date. The flat square double-sided coin weight measures 14.5mm by 13.4mm by 2.2mm and weighs 2.3g. The obverse shows a crown above a shield containing three lis, with a crowned lis either side. The reverse has the numerals II in a rectangle. The ideal weight was 3.5g, but in practice the weights and the circulating coins were around 3.2g (Paul Withers, pers. comm.) so this weight is very light due to pre- and post-depositional wear.
