COIN

Unique ID: DEV-E53A26

Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow status: Awaiting validation

Post medieval silver hammered coin. The coin is a threepence of Elizabeth I (1558 - 1603 AD). The coin is very worn and clipped, so it is difficult to make out much detail on the coin. The obverse is too worn to see any detail. On the reverse it is just possible to see the top of a square topped coat of arms with a cross fourchee. The date above the coat of arms is also worn, but it is possible to make out the first digit is '1', and the third digit is a '6', therefore the coin was minted between the years 1560-1569 AD.
