A copper alloy artefact, probably a coin of Medieval or Post Medieval date, about AD 1200 - 1500, probably of the Crusader Kingdom of Cyprus, maybe of James II dating from the late 15th century. One face bears a cross potent with a cross in each angle (the Jerusulem cross). The peripheral legend is illegible. The other face is possibly a rampant lion. The legend is again illegible, but may end GRAIA which would fit with a sizin such as that of James II (the Bastard), AD 1463 - 1473. The coin is 18.3mm in diameter and 1.4mm thick. It weighs 1.9g.

An incomplete Medieval silver halfpenny of Richard II (AD 1377-1399) or Henry IV (AD 1399-1413), probably dating to AD 1390-1412 or uncertain type and unclear mint. The legend on the reverse has been lost through clipping or wear, and there is a break at a chord that loses about a quarter of the circumference The proposed dating is based on the style of crown, the relative narrowness of the jaw-line and the presence of ANGLIE in the obverse legend, as opposed to an abbreviated form. London Mint. Withers & Withers (2002: 51 and 2003: 20-21).

A Medieval silver double patard of Philip the Good, Duke of Burgundy (1419-67) and Brabant (1466-67), minted for Flanders. In 1469, following an agreement made between Edward IV and Charles the Bold, these coins were made legal tender in England and remained so for over 60 years afterwards; they crop up in hoards (in steadily declining numbers) until well into Henry VIII's reign. The Burgundian rulers were seen as friends of the English and this is the main reason that this type of foreign coin was allowed to circulate here. The metal is not quite sterling value, so although they w…

Late Medieval penny of an uncertain ruler dating to AD 1377 to 1485. Possibly a local die, mint of York. The coin has been clipped to the inner circle and is pierced at 12 o'clock on the obverse with a large hole made near the edge and not adjacent to a cross end on the reverse. Due to the lack of other modifications, such as gilding, it is not clear that piercing alone has removed it circulating as coinage, which was often judged by weight due to heavy clipping in this period. Therefore it has been rcorded as a coin, not as an object, which might have been potential Treasure.

A copper alloy Medieval strap fitting. The fitting is one long rectangular sheet of metal with simple decoration which has been bent at about a third of the length in what appears to be later damage. At one end (the end which had been bent) there are two rivet holes with rusted remains of iron rivets in situ, and at the other end there is only one rivet hole with the rivet missing. The end with two rivets seems to to step up slightly into a platform above the rest of the plate with a rough top and it also appears to be quite worn around the end leaving it at an angle to the plate with…
