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.

The silver Post Medieval coin has been pierced, indicating a secondary function which would normally indicate that it should be considered as potential Treasure. 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 at the time that the coin was deposited.

The Cross and Pellets Series of tokens are only known in London and Paris These tokens have been found associated with coins of Henry VI through to Henry VII and it is thought production ended in 1490 but the continued in circulation into the 16th century.
All London examples have the rays orientated in the same direction on the obverse and reverse, the Paris examples show different orientations (Mitchiner & Skinner 1984:94).
John Clark: IHC = first three letters of Jesus in Greek Iota-Eta-Sigma. In the Medieval period this changed to be a Latin abbreviation for Jesus Homine Salvator – Jesus Saviour of Mankind. In black lettering the H changed from the capital to the lower case with a cross through the upright.

Both of these borders are perhaps imitating a written legend. The token has a dark grey-black patina. Egan (2005) illustrates tokens with either a boat, p. 168 ref. 899, or an heraldic device, p. 168 ref. 894, but not a token displaying both; all the examples illustrated in this source are from the Thames foreshore and date to the 16th century.

One disc from the two-part cloth seal is missing and the tab which connects the two has been twisted and is now lying flat against the remaining disc. This was probably done in order to snap off the other half of the seal. The centre of the face of the seal has a raised circular platform, which has the moulded lettering “GK” with a pellet in between. Aside from these initials there is no other decoration, and so the seal has very few diagnostic features to assign it a more specific date. There is a small area of concreted gravel beneath the initials on the front surface.
