COIN

Unique ID: SUSS-C06403

Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow status: Awaiting validation

An extremely worn hammered silver coin, probably of Continental origins and Post Medieval date. Traces of a left facing bust remain on the obverse as well as the letters 'NA' towards the end of the obverse legend. It is possible a further 'D' remains at the 12 o'clock position. The reverse has been flattened considerably but seems to depict a cross with possible fourchee ends. The quadrants seem to alternate between a fleur and a crown, suggesting that this coin is French in origin. Legends illegible.
