COIN

Unique ID: SUSS-3A8DB6

Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow status: Awaiting validation

A very worn fragment of a Post Medieval silver coin. It is broken approximately in half with some further material eroded away from the edges. It is not absolutely clear therefore whether this is the result of a deliberate cut to change the denomination or post deposition damage. Apart from the faintest suggestion of an inner circle and legend the obverse is blank. The reverse has an oval Royal shield with the letter A visible in the legend. Based on this and the size of the coin it could possibly be a penny of Charles I (1625-1649 AD). Due to the fragmentary nature of the coin and the degree of wear, the exact date, mint and North reference could not be determined.
