The suspension loop is intact, projecting from the top edge at right angles to the plane of the plate, and the artefact is apparently in fair condition. The bare metal of the suspension loop has a dark green patina which also shows on the reverse side. The face of the loop is decorated but it is difficult to make out but it is decorated and would have probably originally been gilded. Compare PAS numbers LEIC-7B6454 and IOW-051E63. The length is…

Perhaps a Post Medieval silver sixpence of William III (1694-1702). The coin may have originally had a double bend in it and part of the flan may have been deliberately smoothed erasing the design. Coins treated in this way are thought to be 'love tokens. The coin is inscribed with the letters NT perhaps the initials of the owner or recipient of the coin. The diameter is 16mm, and the weight is 1.32g. 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, such as vowing to give it to the saint's shrine if the sai…
