Probably a Post Medieval Irish halfpenny of George II to George IV. It has been milled diagonally. Dates to between c1727 and c1830 AD. The diameter is about 4mm wider than usual for an Irish Half penny. Diameter 33mm, thickness 2mm, and weight 14.06g. The coin surface has been damaged and the inscriptions are illegible, but the crown over the harp and some of the scrolling is visible on the reverse. On the obverse there is the suggestion of a right facing bust. If this is the case, and not a trick of the eye, then the monarch would be George III (1760 to 1820 AD).

Pierced hammered silver coin of Elizabeth I dating between 1558 and 1603AD. It is only possible to make out POSVI on the reverse legend. The diameter is 18mm and the weight is 0.77g. If suspended from the piercing, neither the obverse nor the reverse would be upright. It is therefore highly unlikely to have been used as a pendant or ornament. It is more likely that the perforation allowd a cord to be passed through the coin to deter theft. As such it would not qualify as treasure.
