Post-Medieval silver cufflink

Two identical silver cufflinks. Each cufflink is formed of two circular discs with bevelled sides, lipped rim and are joined by an oval wire. The discs are embossed with a raised stamped design of a pair of hearts, side by side surmounted by a jewelled crown. Illegible maker's marks are found on the apex of the oval links.
