Object type: BRACTEATE
Broad period: MODERN
County: Oxfordshire
Workflow stage: Published
A modern gold pendant. The object consists of two gold discs with pressed images, replicating probably (the details have not pressed through clearly) coin obverses (i.e. the bust side only repeated to make two halves) of the emperor Maximian (AD 286-310), with a gold disc between and a beaded rim. Such mouldings in thin gold or silver foil taken from a coin 'host' are often termed clichés and were a technique known in antiquity to produce forgeries as well as a similar technique for 'bracteate' jewellery popular in Barbaricum (beyond the Roman frontier). Although both coins and br…

Object type: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
Broad period: MODERN
County: Bedford
Workflow stage: Published
Non-destructive X-ray fluorescence analysis of the surface indicated an approximate metal composition of 96% silver, 3% copper with trace level impurities. The terminals are soldered to the wire with an alloy containing silver, copper and zinc. The object resembles a miniature torc. It consists of a twisted silver shaft, bent into a U-shape, with a spherical terminal at each end. The ratio of zinc to copper in the solder attaching the terminals would suggest this object is modern. Although it resembles a miniature torc, it is certainly not Iron Age in date. Although this object has a …

Record ID: PUBLIC-7A0AA1
Object type: TOKEN
Broad period: MODERN
County: Cambridgeshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A hoard of 9 tokens, believed to be gaming pieces, which are based on the Austrian 1/4 florin dated 1859. These are slightly smaller than the actual silver 1/4 florin and it is thought these are made of aluminium. The reverse image is stamped on both sides of each piece and due to their white metal content are not considered as treasure. The tokens have been cleaned by the Conservator at Verulamium Museum, St Albans. They were probably made by the firm Lauer of Nuremburg in the mid to late 19th century.
