Title
2006 T76 Post Medieval cuff link
Description
English: TREASURE CASE 2006 T76 Post Medieval button or cufflink element

Description: Complete 17th Century, cast, silver button or cufflink. The button is circular in plan with a down turned or flanged edge. It is decorated with two hearts beneath a single crown. To the reverse is a complete loop.

An almost exact button, though with a different design of crown, can be seen in The Treasure Annual Report 2001, page 81.

Dimensions: Diameter 12.82mm weight: 0.73g

The object contains a minimum of 10% silver and is over 300 years old. Consequently it qualifies as Treasure under the stipulations of the Treasure Act 1996 in terms of both age and precious metal content.
