Object type: CASTING WASTE
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Warwickshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An irregular fragment of copper alloy casting waste, of uncertain dating, but possibly Late Medieval to Early Post Medieval (1400 - 1800 AD). The casting waste fragment consists of a sub rectangular sheet, with uneven, almost bubbly surfaces. It is sub rectangular in cross section. Two edges are smooth and unabraded, indicative of a fairly recent break. It is a mid grey colour, with a couple of areas which display a distinctive shiny sheer to it. This shiny sheer is suggestive that the copper alloy has a high tin content. The weight of the fragment is suggestive that lead …

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete but heavily worn, struck / hammered copper alloy coin, of uncertain dating (AD 200 to AD 1650). The coin is heavily worn, but it is possible to determine a crowned head facing left with pointy beard on the obverse and a possible standing figure on the reverse. The bust on the obverse is similar to that of Charles I of England (AD 1625 to AD 1649) but the size of the copper alloy coin and reverse is not consistent with the range of coins known from that period. The other possibility is that this coin is a heavily worn radiate of uncertain Emperor, but of Roman dating (AD 2…
