A Post Medieval silver shilling possibly of William III (AD 1694-1702) dating to AD 1695-1702.<p class="mw-empty-elt"></p>
<p>The object is a smooth and worn coin that has been bent into an 'S' shape to be used as a love token. Both faces are heavily worn. The bust right is very faintly visible on the obverse. Coins of William III were commonly converted into love tokens and this example is the correct size for a shilling of William III, although the obverse and reverse are too worn to accurately identify the coin.</p>
<p>The overall dimensions are as follows: 20.19mm in length, 14.33mm in width, 3.05mm in thickness and 1.74g in weight.</p>
