A complete and modern cast lead alloy reproduction of a Charles I shilling, probably made in the 20th century AD (diameter: 32.5mm; thickness: 1mm; weight: 5.4g).

The casting line is also clearly evident around the outside edge.

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.
