The coin has been mounted with a hinged pin (partly surviving) and catch-plate arranged to display the ornate cross motif of the Rev, which has been gilded. The gilding appears to extend over the head of one of the rivets, indicating that the coin was gilded after the brooch was made. The adaptation of coins in this way is a feature of the later 11th and early 12th century.

Silver gilt ornament made from two coins of Rummen, Arnold of Orey (1331-64), AR groten (Chijs 23.4 var.). The coins are welded on the top and bottom of a silver disc 7mm thick, the edge of which is finely engraved with a gothic inscription *THOMAS: [ ]; 16.27g, 24mm dia. x 7mm thick, cut portion with c.40% missing. This is a very unusual object, of high status to judge from the quality of the engraving. The 'Thomas' named on it has not yet been identified. Found at Sandwich, Kent, 1992 by Mr G. Wright of Ramsgate (shown at the BM and Dover Archaeological Society, 1993).

This coin is an outstanding rarity, and one of the few sub-classes of the Long Cross series that the Museum lacks. It is also an exceptionally fine striking and it was certainly selected, if not specially produced, to turn into a piece of jewellery. Once again it is the reverse cross that was chosen for display, the rivitted pin and clasp being attached to the portrait Obv.

This is an unusual piece, for which we know no close parallels. The centre of the coin has been cut out leaving only a circular band with the legends. It has then been subsequently gilded (including both the outside and inside edges) and pierced to carry a pin (now missing).
