A silver siege coin struck at Newark dated to 1645 to 1646. It is a lozenge shape and weighs 5.13g; length 34.94mm; width 31.10mm.
A post-medieval silver 'siege piece' struck at Newark. The coin is lozenge shaped. The obverse depicts a crown flanked from left to right by C and R. The crown has eight pellets on the left arch and nine on the right. Due to wear it is possible that some pellets cannot be seen. Below the crown are the numerals XII, which denotes the denomination as a shilling. All these are enclosed by an off-centred lozenge perimeter of pellets.
The reverse has an inscription that is difficult to read, but certainly an 'N' is visible below which is a date of 164? the inscription is enclosed by a lozenge perimeter of pellets, the right side of which cannot be seen due to wear. The obverse surface of the coin is relatively unworn, while the reverse is very worn. The text and motifs have been stamped onto a surface containing multiple nicks and cut marks, perhaps caused as the silver plate from which the coin has been cut was worked and hammered flat.
Please also see NLM-1A8F94 and WMID-FA6147 - the latter demonstrates that modern forgeries or reconstruction pieces have been found.
