A modern white metal copy of a post-medieval halfgroat of Henry VIII (1509-1547), copying either the third or post-humous coinage.
There are several reasons to consider this a modern rather than contemporary forgery, probably dating from the Victorian period onwards. The flan of the coin is too round for a hammered coin of this period, and the edges of the coin a flat with sharp corners. The initial mark (cross with pellet centre) is not one known for Henry VIII and the inscriptions on both obverse and reverse contain inaccuracies- the end of obverse inscription reads [ ]RSh; the reverse [ ]/[ ]OR/LON/DON. The style of both obverse and reverse is poor.
Obverse: Three-quarters facing bust; hEnRICV[ ]D.G.AnGL[ ]RSh
Reverse: Shield; [ ]/[ ]OR/LON/DON
Dimensions: diameter: 19.73mm; weight: 1.55g.
