Object type: BROOCH
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
A copper-alloy token that has been (re)used as a brooch. The token used is likely to date to the first half of the 14th century, a parallel occurs in Mitchiner (1988, p107, No, 168). The token forms a disc brooch and is 26mm in diameter. On the back face the incomplete pin remains and seems to have been formed from a sheet of copper-alloy, bent over itself, the pin is clearly tapering to a point. As the token is early 14th century in date the brooch could have been created any time after this.
