This is an unusual, and probable, post medieval love token, a heart formed from three hammered silver Elizabeth I sixpences. The coins are in very poor condition being almost totally rubbed out, however, there is clearly visible, the letters LIZA on the left coin on the facing side. The denomination is based on the coin size. The bent coin as a love-token may be derived from the well-recorded practice of bending a coin when making a vow to a saint. The bending a coin when one person made a vow to another was another practice which arose from this. From the traditional wedding rh…

A silver "love token" of post-medieval date. The surfaces of the coin have been worn (deliberately ?) smooth and so the ruler cannot be identified. The size and form suggest that it is a milled sixpence, probably of William III. The coin has two deliberate folds. It measures 19.4mm diameter by 0.9mm thick and weighs 1.62g.

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…
