A silver post-medieval fourpence of Charles II, dating to the period AD 1660-1685. The second part of the date has been obliterated.

Cf Coins of England and the United Kingdom, Spink, Spink & Son, London, 2009, number 3384.

Notes:

Pierced post-medieval silver coins are fairly common finds which are known from hoards, they thus do not appear to have been removed from circulation and continued to function as a coin. It was therefore not submitted for consideration as Treasure as it does not fit the definition given in the Treasure Act 1996.
