COIN

An extremely worn silver coin. The coin weighs 1.9g, has a diameter of 19.4mm and thickness of 0.6mm. The thinness, look and feel of this coin would suggest a hammered rather than milled coin. No legend is even slightly visible on either the obverse or reverse.

One side of the flan seems to show the ends of a laureate tie, reverse head profile, forehead and upper nose profile of a head or bust right. It is important to note that the end of the ribbon tie almost touched the edge (or current edge) of the flan, thus allowing no space for a legend.

The other side of the flan is worn completely illegible. Two small circular depressions can be seen on this side but they are only just visible as slight mounds on the other side of the flan if one is purposely looking for them. They have a diameter of 1.3mm and are set 1.4mm apart. Their presence on the coin may be the result of later unintentional damage.

The flan has two slight bends or folds that are in opposite directions. These give the flan an undulating stretched-out 's' shaped profile. It is not possible to determine the die axis.

This coin is far too worn to be identified with any certainty. However, a sixpence of Charles II (AD1660-1685), William and Mary (AD1688-1694), William III sole reign (AD1694-1702) could be a possibility.
