A lead alloy medallion or pendant which is probably modern, perhaps dating from the Victorian period. It has a diameter of 39.7mm and is 3.5mm thick. The medallion is gilded and decorated on both faces but the poor quality of the alloy means that much of the detail is illegible. The obverse bears a large central cross potent with five pellets in each angle. There is also a legend round the edge which is illegible. The reverse shows a coat of arms with a crown above and emblems to the side. This is believed to be the royal arms of Portugal. It is likely that this medallion is based upo…

A modern white metal copy of a post-medieval halfgroat of Henry VIII (1509-1547), copying either the third or post-humous coinage. There are several reasons to consider this a modern rather than contemporary forgery, probably dating from the Victorian period onwards. 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…

Cu-alloy token or counter dating from the late 18th century. The major series of these cu-alloy tokens or counters which are depicting Queen Anne appears to have been struck in Birmingham during the reign of George III. Counters of that class bear designs based on Queen Anne's shillings and sixpences: all bear the pre-Union form of shields...and show the mis-spelling 'RIG' for 'REG' which can be seen on this counter, too. Observed dates for pieces run from 1702-1774. This one is dated '1771'.
