'Edward Besly of the National Museum and Gallery of Wales has commented on these coins,"As far as I understand, they are very difficult to date because production continued long after their deaths (1516 [F] and 1504 [I]) towards the middle of the sixteenth century. They were made legal tender under Philip and Mary (1554-8) but Elizabeth promptly banned them. However, they continued to be used well into the seventeenth century and very worn ones occasionally turn up in Civil War hoards" '.2018-12-20 14:29:152018-12-20 15:15:36311Certain11322936PAS5C1BA73B00165422222FAKLSilver11728Struck or hammeredIncompleteFairMEDIEVALMDx14221p0gjgrsxwzxPOST MEDIEVALPMx41047p0gjgrs6sgxMetal detectorCircaCirca9303774382293924382241426SJ5200SJ5200SJ50SW52.59566256-2.710054256100447935Yoke, surrounded by scroll work] CAS [Sheaf of arrows?481138401412212269Half realFerdinand and Isabella of SpainSlightly worn: very finelightly_wornSpain: Silver half real of Ferdinand and Isabella (Clemente and Cayon 2538-2614)Regular1038935Birm619.jpg3267417Late Medieval spanish coinThe Portable Antiquities Scheme4images/kleahy/West MidlandsEuropean RegionUnitary AuthorityShropshireUnitary AuthorityShropshireCivil Parish52.6009-2.72287FrodesleyReturned to finder608995423
