When tested the metal ring was strongly attracted to a magnet. Therefore we now believe that the ring is made of some ferromagnetic metal, possibly an iron alloy or maybe nickel. As of now, we know of no other example of an encased farthing which has this magnetic property. (Images and Information Courtesy of Bob Byrne U.S.A.)
