A rare 15th Century badge from the reign of Richard III.
The silver gilt badge, which measures 1.4 by 1.1in (3.6 by 2.9cm), was found by a metal detecting enthusiast at Stillingfleet, near York, in 2010.
Thousands of the boar-shaped badges were made for the King's supporters in 1483 but few have been found.
