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.

An incomplete copper-alloy medieval item, probably a strap end, or possibly a buckle plate dating from the 13th to 15th century. It is probably part of a composite strap end with spacer. The remaining part is a single sheet representing the front of the strap end. The strap end is sub-rectangular in shape and tapers towards the end, suggesting a pointed or rounded end. The strap end had two rivets attached, one at the centre near the top, the other centred near the bottom; both are now missing. The top of the strap end from a transverse line through the centre of the top rivet hole i…
