  • Thumbnail image of SUSS-BDD793

Record ID: SUSS-BDD793
Object type: COIN
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: East Sussex
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
A very worn and clipped Post Medieval silver coin of unknown monarch. The coin has been clipped down to the inner circle and therefore the legend has been removed with it. The obverse is largely blank but the reverse shows a quartered shield with the rampant lion of Scotland in the upper right quadrant. This was adopted by James I and would date the coin to the reign of James I (1603-1625 AD) or Charles I (1625-1649).

The legend was in use on various coin denominations throughout the Tudor period but judging by the size and weight of this coin it is most likely a groat or sixpence of Elizabeth I (1558-1603 AD). There are three holes in the flan of the coin all of which a…

Cast lead circular unifaced token. The obverse of this unusually thick token has a raised design of the outline of a house in the style children draw them with a central door flanked by pellets, two windows with cross bars above and a chimney to one side of the pitched roof. There is a central pellet. The reverse is blank. The token is 21.0 mm in diameter, 4.0mm thick and weighs 13.24 grams. Lead tokens had a wide variety of uses and were made locally; they are therefore hard to date precisely but the style of the house with cross bars on the windows suggests a date of c.1700 or later.
