Post medieval silver shilling of Elizabeth I dating to the period AD 1601 - 1602 (Third coinage). 1 initial mark. Tower mint. See: North, Vol. II, p. 113, 2014. Pierced through the centre.

However, since coins of this period with similar piercings appear in hoards of currency, it suggests that such objects could re-enter circulation as coins. It therefore cannot be said with confidence whether this particular object was regarded as a coin or as an item of jewellery a…

Record ID: NMS-D9A0D6
Object type: COIN
Broad period: ROMAN
County: Norfolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Copper alloy modified Roman coin, possibly a sestertius. The flan is square with rounded corners and appears to have been hammered around the edges to square-up or lip the periphery. The thinness of the coin and the fact that both obverse and reverse are struck in relatively low relief for the period suggest either a contemporary copy or that the object was struck in imitation of a coin, but was not intended for use as one. Obverse; female bust facing right, probably Faustina the Younger (Reece Period 8. Circa AD161-175). Reverse: standing female figure. Die axis 6 o'clock.
