A modified (pierced and gilded) post-medieval silver groat of Elizabeth I (1558-1603), mint: Tower (London), initial mark: lis (North 1986) dating to 1558-60. Ref: North 1991. The coin has been gilded and been pierced near the edge at 6 o'clock on the obverse, and it is probable that the modified coin was used as a pendant. The sharp condition of the coin suggests that this adaptation does not date very long after the striking of the coin, probably in the 1560s. Weight 2.1g.

A modified (pierced and gilded) post medieval sixpence of Elizabeth I, coronet initial mark and dated to 1567. As North 1997. The coin has been deliberately bent into an S-shape. The edge of the piercing is rough on the reverse side, suggesting that it was pierced from the obverse side and perhaps fixed by a nail in order to display the obverse. Single coin finds of this date are not usually considered under the 1996 Treasure Act unless modified in a way which changes their function and removes them from circulation. This coin is highly unusual however in having been pierced, del…

A sixpence of Elizabeth I, Tower mint, 1578 with a plain cross initial mark (North 1997), gilded on both sides and neatly pierced near the edge at 12 o'clock (on the obverse). This adaptation was clearly carried out to transform the item into a piece of jewellery, probably a pendant, and, as a coin of over three hundred years modified in this way, it now falls under the terms of the Treasure Act of 1996. 1578, modified at a later date, probably in the late 16th or early 17th century. Diameter 26mm, weight 2.67g.
