Description:
Four silver coin clipping fragments from uncertain denominations from uncertain rulers, likely post-medieval in date, c. AD 1500-1700.
Each fragment has been clipped from the edges of probable English silver coins. The two larger fragments were found attached but have since broken into two. The two smaller fragments do not appear to have originated from either the same coin as each other or the same coin as the larger fragments.

Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Cumbria

Post Medieval gilded and silver plated copper alloy strap mount. It is roughly sub-oval in plan. The outer face is divided into three sections divided by transverse ridges. They all appear to have forms of scrolling or foliate decoration that is now hard to distinguish much detail. The central panel is gilded and the outer arms are silver plated. The inner face is undecorated and retains four sub-conical attachment projections. The mount is well made and quite unusual in being both gilded and silver plated. Suggested date range c1500 to c1650 AD.

The collar still retains a domed setting of dull pale grey material with a very slight sheen, which has a hole in the centre filled with silver. Both the setting and the silver have polishing scratches across them.
On the reverse, at th…
