A group of fused coins from Scaftworth, Nottinghamshire. There appears to be eight coins of the same denomination included, all silver halfpennies, probably of Elizabeth I, since the two visible sides are from this reign. As silver coins, they would be of the sterling standard, over 90% fine metal. The weight of the group is 1.92g (0.2g would be a good weight for a single specimen of this coin). Under Elizabeth, halfpennies were only struck from 1583, so the group would have been deposited after that date. It is very hard to say how long after that date this might have occurred, si…

British Museum Curatorial Report: "I have examined a group of 23 coins reported found at Stockton on the Forest, Yorkshire, although one was only identified from images. All are official silver coins of England, which will therefore be of the sterling standard of 92.5% fine metal. The rulers represented run from Philip and Mary (1554-8) to the Commonwealth period (1649-60), with the latest coin dating to 1653. The denomination range present is quite broad, with nine different denominations running from the halfpenny up to the half-crown (2s.6d., or 30-pence). A detailed catalogu…

Treasure case: 2013 T288 North Tawton, Devon PAS Database number: DEV-A98913 This find consists of seven medieval silver coins, certainly or probably from the 14th century; five are English and two Scottish, and thus all will have been struck to the sterling silver standard of the time of over 90% fine metal. The find includes two pennies surviving from the very large penny coinage of the decades around 1300, with the other coins being the larger denominations of groat (4-pence) and half-groat introduced in 1351 in England and 1357 in Scotland. The latest coins present date t…

Curator's report: I have examined a group of 23 coins reported found at Boltby, North Yorkshire. All are whole or damaged silver pennies of the English kings Edward I, II and III (the coins seem to have been complete when deposited, but have suffered significant damage in the ground). As official English silver coins, they will have been struck to the sterling standard of over 90% fine metal. Most of the coins belong to the penny series introduced by Edward I in 1279 and then struck until the 1330s, with one later coin from the Fourth Coinage of Edward III, issued in 1352-3. (A detail…

I have examined a group of coins reported found in the Ilam area in Staffordshire. All are official silver coins of the medieval kings of England and will therefore be of the traditional sterling standard, c. 92.5% fine metal. Three denominations are present: pennies, half-groats (twopences) and groats (fourpences). The coins range in date from the early 14th century to the early reign of Henry VI. This range is wholly consistent with 15th century currency, since there was no complete English recoinage after 1279 and older coins, increasingly worn and clipped down to more recent weigh…

A hoard of fused silver coins, probably Medieval late 12th - 13th century. Curator's report: I have examined a fused group of coins reported found in Wandsworth, London. There are virtually no details that can be made out, but from the size of the coins and perhaps a couple of visible letters, it appears likely to me that they are late 12th or 13th century silver pennies, possibly of the Short Cross coinage (1180-1247). If this is correct, they would have a silver fineness of over 90%. The weight of the group is 21.45g, suggesting that there might be around 15 coins pres…

All but one are silver coins of the English Short Cross type, in production 1180 to 1247, mostly full pennies but also with three cut halfpennies (smaller denominations were created by cutting pennies into halves or quarters, to make halfpennies and farthings). The remaining coin is a penny of the equivalent Scottish coinage, struck to the same standards and relatively commonly found in English currency in the 13th century, especially in the north of England.

two coins reported found in close proximity at Appletreewick, North Yorkshire. Both are official English silver coins, and will thus have a fineness of the sterling standard, 92.5% good silver. Their details are as follows: 1. Silver sixpence of Elizabeth I, initial mark ermine, dated 1571 Wt: 2.08g 2. Silver shilling of Charles I, initial mark illegible, but Group D with no inner circles, so datable to 1634-8 Wt: 4.42g Both coins are severely worn and probably clipped and their weight is very poor, especially the shilling. It is likely that both were in circulation together in the mi…

Post-medieval coin hoard from Newton-with-Scales, Lancashire (2004T30) I have examined a group of coins reported found at Newton with Scales in January 2004. The coins are all official English issues of the traditional sterling standard, i.e. 92/5% fine metal.The coins consist of three denominations: 11 groats (fourpences) of Mary and Elizabeth Tudor, and a sixpence and 7 threepences of Elizabeth, amounting to a sum with a face value of five shillings and fivepence, which would be something like £20-30 in modern terms.The coins would certainly have circulated together, and the lim…
