Pierced silver siliqua of Gratian, reverse VIRTVS ROMANORVM type, mintmark and further details illegible, slightly clipped and with relatively wide (2-3mm) piercing near edge (which has worn through) between 2 and 3 o'clock (obverse), weight 1.22g, AD378-83 The worn piercing shows that this coin has been reused as a pendant and thus qualifies at an item of Treasure. It is quite worn but not excessively so. The reuse as a pendant probably belongs to the 5th century although a late Roman reuse cannot be ruled out.

A modified (pierced and gilded) post-medieval silver groat of Elizabeth I (1558-1603), mint: Tower (London), initial mark: lis (North 1986) dating to 1558-60. Ref: North 1991. The coin has been gilded and been pierced near the edge at 6 o'clock on the obverse, and it is probable that the modified coin was used as a pendant. The sharp condition of the coin suggests that this adaptation does not date very long after the striking of the coin, probably in the 1560s. Weight 2.1g.

A single Roman gold coin, a solidus of Arcadius, found in exactly the same area as a hoard of 26 late Roman gold solidi and 4 silver siliquae discovered in 1993. This coin is plainly part of the same hoard, missed during the 1993 excavations. It was struck in 394-5, a date that exactly accords with the latest coins in the hoard and its crisp, almost mint state, similar to that of the other coins of this date present, suggests that it had not been in circulation long when the hoard was buried.

A post medieval silver threepence of Charles II dating to c.1664-70. This has been gilded and pierced at the 12 o'clock position on the obverse. Clearly the intention was that the coin might serve as a pendant. The display of the king's head in this way may well also have had an ideological element. This adaptation of the coin would, in all probability, have been carried out shortly after the coin's issue. Coin issued c.1664-70, adaptation in the late 1660s or 1670s. 18mm diameter, weight 1.38g.

A sixpence of Elizabeth I, Tower mint, 1578 with a plain cross initial mark (North 1997), gilded on both sides and neatly pierced near the edge at 12 o'clock (on the obverse). This adaptation was clearly carried out to transform the item into a piece of jewellery, probably a pendant, and, as a coin of over three hundred years modified in this way, it now falls under the terms of the Treasure Act of 1996. 1578, modified at a later date, probably in the late 16th or early 17th century. Diameter 26mm, weight 2.67g.

A fragment of a silver halfcrown of Charles I. The obverse has been filed smooth and the border containing the reverse legend has been removed, leaving a round garnished shield containing the arms of Great Britain. The resulting disc has been pierced centrally for use as a mount of some sort. This re-use has presumably not occurred very many years after the use of the original as a coin and probably belongs to the second half of the 17th century. Date: 1625-1649 Dimensions: Diameter 25mm. Weight 3.31g. Owing to the adaptation described above this coin is now classified as an object; t…
