A silver post-medieval groat of Henry VIII (1509-1547). Second coinage, rose initial mark, minted at the Tower of London, 1526-1529 (North 1797). The coin has a double bend but is not very worn. Coins with a double bend are sometimes referred to as love tokens but they may have been used for supposed amuletic properties. Manville (2014, p. 20) says of bent coins: “A twice bent coin might be carried in the pocket or wallet as a protection against the ‘evil eye’ or other witchcraft, hence the crooked sixpence of the children’s rhyme. Other so-called lucky pocket pieces might be …

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Description
Four silver sixpences of Elizabeth I of England (1558-1603), dated 1567, 1574 and 1583 (found by Mr Small) and 1567 (found by Mr Williams). The coins display moderate amounts of wear through use, consistent with their having been lost or deposited at around the same time. Elizabeth’s silver coinage was of a consistently high fineness, in excess of 90% Ag.
Discussion
Silver coins of Elizabeth are found fairly regularly and the sixpence is a commonly-encountered denomination, playing a significant part in most coin hoards from the later sixteenth and sevente…
