Fragment of the inner disk from a cast lead four-part alnage seal. It is flat on the back, the front is stamped with SER[...]//HE[...]//1628 in three lines with double roses to the left and below. It is 18.9mm by 16.4mm by 1.3mm thick and weighs 1.97 grams. It would originally have read: "serc//hed // 1628"; (ie the textile was examined in that year). It is probably from Kent by parallel with another, more complete, example from London, though the same alnagers initials (ligatured TH/HT) which appear on the other inner disc of the London example, along with the county nam…

Part of a two part cloth seal with two disks joined by a tab which is bent in half.

Post Medieval French lead Cinque Grosses Fermes customs or goods tax seal (the name refers to 5 tax districts), probably not for a cloth as it is not of the most appropriate (riveted) format for a textile, but for some other kind of goods. It has been torn off and about a third is missing. There are the remains of two slots running through it where cords or laces would have been attached. On both sides are stamped designs encircled by a legend: the arms of France on one side with full crown and collar around, and those of Rouen (Lamb of God with in chief three fleurs de lis)…

Late Medieval or Post Medieval incomplete two- or four-disc lead cloth seal. Only a fragment of the centre of two discs survive.

The seal was then stamped across this cone flattening it and riveting the two discs together. This fragement is part of the cone and the upper and lower disc. On the front is stamped an unclear raised design, possibly a merchents privy mark. The back is plain apart from some incised lines. It is 1…

Flower shaped mount in a lead-tin-copper alloy. The mount has a large domed centre surrounded by a ring of eight circular domed 'petals'. The back is hollowed and shaped to the font as though it has been stamped out of copper alloy sheet. In the centre of the back is a lump of iron corrosion which may be the remains of a rivet. It is 11.8mm in diameter, 4.5mm thick and weighs 0.54 grams. Although Medieval flower mounts have been found nearby (e.g. SUSS-ADFCF0) this example is made of a different material, is much more regular and has an iron rather than copper rivet. All of these fe…

Part of a Post Medieval alnage cloth seal. The fragment consists on one side or a two or four part seal. On the front is a stamped design of a crowned rose with a C to the left within a pellet border. Several examples on the database have crowned roses with royal initials to the side (usually C/R etc) which are similar to this example e.g. SF-02F767 and SUR-FF8E42 where the design is on a four part Hampshire seal; they are thought to relate to Charles I, 1625-1649 AD. It is 15.6mm in diameter, 1.4mm thick and weighs 1.66 grams.

Flat square piece of lead with rounded corners stamped with a privy mark on one side and plain on the other. Probably part of a cloth seal used by a weaver, dyer or searcher. The mark is in the shape of a long cross with a base that splits into two legs with a V below, the arms of the V crossing the legs of the cross. There appear to be indistinct initials to the left and right of the cross, possible G/R or G/B. It is all within a circular line border. The use of a privy mark suggests a 16th to 18th century date. It is 16.8mm by 16.7mnm and 1.6mm thick; it weighs 3.04 grams.

Post medieval contemporary copy of a silver halfcrown of William III (1694-1702), dated 1696. There are copper corrosion deposits on both faces probably from a central copper core and the edge is badly chipped removing the edge legend. No copper alloy shows in the chipped edges so the surface deposits could be from another source. However the coin is very underweight (the full weight is close to 15 grams and even very worn examples are over 13 grams) and, significantly, has a incorrect die orientation, suggesting it is a contemporary copy with a copper alloy core.

Post Medieval silver sixpence of William and Mary - George IV, 1693-1821 AD. The coin has been worn completely smooth (part of one shield is visible on the reverse only) and bent in two places - marks suggest it was bent with a clamp. It has been counterstamped with a raised ING within a recessed field. Smoothed and bent coins of this period are often referred to as 'love tokens' and some were stamped with the initials of the sender or recipient. Smoothed and stamped coins were also produced by traders for use as tokens.
