A silver coin converted into a brooch by having a pin attached to one side (the pin has not survived, but the attachment is partially present) and with one side gilded. The gilded side is, as is usual, the side showing the cross. The coin is a silver gros tournois type, a relatively large silver coin of the late 13th and early 14th century many of which have been found in England converted into brooches in this way, alongside similarly-treated groats of Edward I, England's own first large silver coin, introduced in 1280. Most examples of such coin-brooches are of gros tournois of…

TREASURE CASE : 2008 T643 A fragment of a medieval brooch consisting of perhaps less than half of the original diameter. The complete brooch would have been circular. The fragment is decorated with two animal heads. One grasps in its mouth part of the loop for the pin attachment. The other would have held the pin-rest in a similar fashion. Between the two animal heads are three collets divided by two bosses. The central collet is the largest and is set with a purple stone (probably a garnet). The other two collets have lost their settings. The two bosses are decorated with circul…

A nummular brooch of the Medieval period, TAQ 1279. Dr Barrie Cook of the British Museum writes: 'The coin is a silver groat (fourpence) of King Edward I, issued in 1280-1. The fineness of the coin will be of the official sterling silver standard, 92.5% fine metal. However, the coin has been converted into a piece of jewellery, a brooch, by two additions, one presumably to enable it to be sewed to a garment and the other being a hook aligned with it. The coin also shows signs of gilding. Edward I introduced the large silver groat in 1280, but it did not become a success…

A miniature Medieval brooch in the shape of a trefoil with three globular projections positioned at each external recess. The frame is nicely shaped with a chamfered edge. The brooch retains its pin, which is designed to lie diagonally across its breadth, resting beneath the opposite globular projection.

A gold brooch formed into the shape of an asymmetric heart. Such brooches were used as love tokens during this period and some surviving examples carry inscriptions of amatory intent. This brooch lacks any inscription. A 14th century, asymmetric heart brooch, richly enamelled with flowers, can be found in the British Museum (Af 2701). For a simpler and closer comparison in silver, recently acquired by the British Museum, see Treasure Annual Report 2000, no.140 (Weeting-with-Broomhill, Norfolk).
