Description: | This is a silver post medieval hammered coin, probably a half groat of Elizabeth I (1558-1603). There are remnants of the typical obverse legend - H(or E)DG*ROSA*SINE*SPIN, (BY THE GRACE OF GOD A ROSE WITHOUT A THORN) with CIVITAS LONDON as the reverse legend. A crescent mint mark is visible on the reverse, which would place the date at 1587-89.The coin appears to have been damaged by fire and is much worn with a small piercing which has split though to the rim. The main evidence for the denomination is based predominantly on the scant remnants of two pellets behind the bust, which only appeared on the half groat.
