A post medieval milled copper alloy coin, proabably a penny, of unknown ruler, probably dating to AD 1780- 1900. Possibly forged, the coin appears to be made from a diverse metal with a copper alloy coating that has almost worn away. A patina, mainly yellow in colour, but some green present can be seen around the outside edges. This is slightly raised from the metal surface and may have been the surface coating upon the coin.
