The object is a silver penny of the Short Cross coinage which has been converted into a brooch. The coin was originally a silver penny of Short Cross class 5bi, issued in 1205 under King John. The moneyer was Pieres operating at Durham: the reverse inscription +PIERES.ON.DVR is virtually complete. The coin would have been produced to the established standard of the English medieval coinage, over 90% fine silver. The penny has been substantially altered and it could no longer be a functioning coin. The central section with the main design (king's head on the front, short double cross…

Copper alloy brooch. Fragment of a cast composite trumpet brooch derivative, as identified by finder. An expanded bow with circular concavity indicates a two-piece construction; the fastening mechanism (now lost) was presumably engaged with this hollow. The upper bow is modestly expanded, and narrows to meet a heavily moulded group of three ridges; with the second and third ridges separated by a deep trough, as a dramatic departure from the mid-bow acanthus leaf decoration of the usual trumpet brooch type. Below the third ridge, the bow assumes an unusual configuration which appears q…

Copper alloy possible brooch fragment. Cast and curving strip with a ridge on its convex surface, possibly slightly expanded at its ends if this does not arise from its breakage in antiquity. This may derive from the bow of a small Romano-British brooch, for example a 1st-century strip bow brooch such as the Hod Hill, Langton Down or Aucissa types, though other identifications are equally possible. Heavily abraded. Suggested date: Early Roman, 40-80. Length: 18.7mm, Width: 7.06mm, Thickness: 2mm, Weight: 1.09gms.

Copper alloy brooch fragment. Cast T-shaped Brooch, with a moulded head with slot for pin, side lugs or vestigial wings, and reeding extending from the wings down along the bow as appears on Langton Down and some Hod Hill forms; however, the square-section bow is atypically thick. The catch-plate is pierced with a round hole of diameter 3.4mm, and four slightly smaller lateral perforations have been drilled through the bow, presumably for modification or adaptation of the fastening mechanism. The brooch has partially broken at the uppermost of these perforations. This is one of a numb…
