Title
COIN
Description
English: An incomplete cast copper-alloy rotary locking key dating to the medieval period, c. 1300 to 1500.

Description The key has a straight stem with a circular mostly hollow cross-section. The hollowness of the stem is visible through damage to one side of the key though the hollowness reaches a stop around the point of the stem the bit is attached. The end of the stem past the bit is incomplete but has been drilled out. The bit is very simple and integrally cast with a simple ward towards the back anda  round one at its base.. There is a simple raised moulded ridge between the stem and the bow. The bow is incomplete but appears to have been circular with quatrefoil on the inside formed by four intersecting circles. It has a mid brown colour with light green colouration around the breaks/damage.

Measurements: 74.77mm long, 21.99mm wide, 10.06mm thick and 38.07g in weight

Discussion: This is a relatively common key type originally classified by Ward Perkins (1940, 140) as london type VI with dating apparently of 14th or 15th century date
