Not too much to post at the moment as there is no detecting allowed due lockdown so here’s another Sandbach find from last year. This is a Philip and Mary groat from between 1554 and 1558. Note the way the coin has been bent. This identifies it as a ‘love token’. This was a way of showing your love to your sweetheart. These would often be left on fenceposts or stiles to be found by your partner.
