Description: | This heavily clipped hammered silver coin of Elizabeth I is most probably a shilling from the Second Issue coinage. The coin has lost the whole of the legend area and is in a very worn condition, making precise identification difficult. However, there is no indication of a rose to the obverse and the style of the bust is indicative of the Second Issue coinage. The width of the shield suggests that it is a shilling.It is interesting to see how far the perpetrators of coin clipping were prepared to go!
