Any ideas on these two

Post by Oldest Swinger »

Ok before we begin hands up they are not my own finds.

First is a hammered silver not a great picture but working on it.

Second is Copper/Bronze seems to have a Roman patina to my untrained eyes and is the diameter of a modern 2p or thereabouts lol

MMMMMMMMM totaly coincidence I asure you these I bought as part of job lot on ebay the other day arrived today

Am intending to get a frame made up with a number of relics from different ages so I can show them to farmers when asking permission. Not as something I have found but as an example of the sort of thing they may or may not have beneath their own land. Seems logical to me to show them something just to get them interested.

The second one:
A British coin of King William IV. The coin reads GUILELMUS IIII DEI GRATIA on the obverse with a portrait of William and BRITANNIAR: REX FID: DEF 1831
On the reverse with a female Britannia seated on a rock, holding a trident and resting a shield against her right side. A floral emblem is below her. The inscription translates to “William IV, by the grace of God, king of Britain and defender of the faith
