An unidentified worn silver coin of unknown Monarch, probably dating from AD 1695 - 1787, which has been folded into an S shape and squashed flat, perhaps for use as a love token. The coin is badly worn with no visible identification , and it has been folded in thirds, but a milled edge is visible around the flan suggesting a date from AD 1561 onwards. The diameter is consistent with sixpences of William III - George III. It is 20.3mm long, 9.9mm wide and 2.3mm thick as bent. It weighs 2g. See SWYOR-8A8437 for more information about love tokens and bent coins.

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.
