A fragment of a silver post-medieval shilling, probably of Elizabeth I (reigned AD 1558-1603). The coin is almost an exact quarter and it may have been deliberately cut along the lines of the cross on the reverse, although an uneven patina at the break perhaps suggests that this is more modern damage.
