The coin is heavily worn, cracked and bent. Uncertain mint, though the mark appears to be an A above a grid, possibly representing a portcullis or a griddle. Edward Besly of the National Museum and Gallery of Wales has commented on these coins, "As far as I understand, they are very difficult to date because production continued long after their deaths (1516 [F] and 1504 [I]) towards the middle of the…

A fragmentary cast copper alloy fragment, possibly of Late Medieval date (c.15th-16th century AD).
