All three are decorated on one face with fields defined by engraved lines and filled with either rocker-arm engraving or niello. The other face is undecorated. The original find was too fragmentary to discern a possible pattern; the addition of two joining pieces show that there appears to be an abstract foliate design.

Silver grosso of Pope Alexander VI (Rodrigo Borgia), Rome, 1492-1503, adapted by the cutting out of a disc from the centre of the coin. The reason for this is uncertain; annular brooches are known which have been similarly treated but they are generally over two centuries earlier in date and have a hole drilled in the perimeter to accommodate a pin. The fashion for making annular brooches out of coins seems to have died out long before the last decade of the 15th century when this grosso was struck. It is probable that another function was intended for this large silver washer but wha…
