A pierced silver half groat or possibly a penny of Charles I - the exterior is slightly clipped and so the type is difficult to date more closely - it is likely to have been struck after 1630 and may date from the period 1642-4. The coin has been pierced by a rectangular shaped punch from the reverse though to the obverse at 11 o'clock on the reverse - the spall of the metal hole has been flattened on the obverse face.

A heavily worn and very polished medieval penny of Edward I (1272-1307). The mint and coin sub-type cannot be identified due to the polished condition which seems deliberate and contemporary with loss. Such augmentation might suggest that this coin was a touch piece or significant for some reason - now lost. From what remains of the bust a date in the period 1301-1310 can be suggested due to the bi-foliate type of crown. Obverse: Crowned head facing, the crown has a high central lis, bi-foliate side fleurs and globular ornaments, the drapery is formed of wedges and there is no evi…
