'''Tin''' is a soft white metal. Its Latin name was ''stannum'' hence the modern systematic symbol ''Sn''. 

It was known from antiquity and is used in the production of bronze and pewter. An object can be 'tinned' which gives it a coating of this [[metal]]. 

[[Medieval]] [[badge|badges]], [[buckle|buckles]] and [[spoon|spoons]] were sometimes tinned.
