A fragment of a Medieval mount, probably intended as a box- mount. It is made from a thin sheet of metal and has a cut-out design. Along one edge are two small apertures against a cross-hatched background. These were probably used to attach the mount to the object which it decorated. The register below this consists of three cut-out rectangles, each surmounted by a small hole. Beneath the rectangles is another area of cross-hatched ornament, and the remains of a trefoil cut-out. This may have formed an architectural niche. At this point the mount is broken. The mount fragment is sil…

A coin of Louis XIV of France. Edward Besly of the National Museum and Gallery of Wales has identified this coin as follows. Louis XIV's coinage suffered a succession of remintings in this period, known as 'réformations' and most of the time, ratther than melting down the coins, they struck the new ones directly on the old. This is therefore a réformation: A 1691 'Quadruple sol aux deux Ls', which has been overstruck c.1702-4 to become a a 'cinq sols aux insignes'. The date of the earlier coin is under the King's bust, which is upside-down in relation to the new design. On th…

Double patard of Charles the Bold, for Flanders, c.1467-74. Double patards were exactly equivalent to English groats and were made legal tender in England and Wales in 1469. They show up in hoards down to the 1530s and presumably finally disappeared during the Henrician debasements of the early 1540s.

16th Portuguese medio real or chinfrao of Alfonso V (1438 - 81) of Portugal. These turn up in some quantity across England: According to Barrie Cook, it was issued in 1472, and demonetized (in Portugal, presumably) in 1485, but seems to have circulated in England as a half-groat and appears in hoards as late as the 1530s. They were probably the coins known as 'dandyprats' - see Barrie Cook's article in BNJ 64, at pp.72-4. It has a hole pierced near the edge at on side suggesting it was used as a pendant. [portugal]
