The centre edge of the surround has a design of 11 'nodules' between 2 fine twisted wires and incorporates a loop and link for attaching to a watch chain.

 

We have described the fob case as silver since it is stamped on the inner surround with what we believe to be a maker's mark 'S&Co'  however, the hallmarks on the outer ring are partially hidden by the rope work and are well rubbed, but can be slightly seen on the photographs and the date letter 'c' for Birmingham 1902 can be discerned by loop. The case material is not attracted to a very strong magnet.

Shillings minted prior to 1920 were made of sterling silver (92.5%).

The face of shilling features the uncrowned head of George VII who became king in January, 1901 on the death of Queen Victoria. It was released by the mint prior to his coronation in August, 1902. His reign from 1901 to 1910 is known as the Edwardian Age.

DE S appears below the head truncation signifying the engraving design was by George William De Saulees.

The reverse of the shilling features a crowned lion passant atop a crown, separating the 19 and 02 of the date. This was the first time the design was used and continued to be used throughout his reign. 

Measures 2.4cm in diameter, approximately 8mm in thickness and weighs 13g. On average a 1902 shilling weighs approximately 5.5g.
