Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow status: Awaiting validation

A Post Medieval silver hammered coin of Elizabeth I (1558-1603). The coin is probably a Threefarthings coin, it is very worn and has been heavily clipped at the edges. It has a crease, suggesting it has been bent and re-straightened. The Threefarthings coin was minted between 1561 and 1582. Spink (2011) reference numbers 2571 or 2576.
