Aluminium copy of a Charles I sixpence, copying the silver shillings minted at Pontefract during 1648 and 1649, the so-called 'siege' pieces. Sixpences were never minted at Pontefract, but were at Scarborough in 1644-5 and Newark in 1646. However, these latter types are square or diamond-shaped in profile, not disc-shaped as in this case. This copy seems to have been stamped and then cut out as a disc, as it has an edge on the reverse that stands slightly proud of the surface of the coin but no edge on the obverse.
