A heavily worn, silver, struck coin with the letters R . C stamped onto one side. Likely to be a Sixpence or Groat. Any detail on the coin has been worn off or deliberately removed, meaning it is hard to identify with any degree of certainty. It is likely, based on its size, to be either a groat from the reign of Elizabeth I or Charles I, or a Sixpence from the reign of Charles II.
