Description: | Three coins reported found on the same site as the previous coin find, Swindon 2006 T369. The new coins are all official English silver coins of the 14th and 15th centuries and will thus be of the sterling standard, c. 92.5% fine metal. Their details are as follows.1. Penny, Edward III, Third Coinage (1344-51), London N1127, rev 6 0.75g2. Penny, Henry VI, Leaf Pellet A (1445-54), York 0.77g3. Halfgroat, Henry VI, Cross Pellet (1454-60), London 1.93gIn terms of their issue and condition, they are generally in line with the contents of the earlier find and can be regarded as being part of the same original deposit, a coin hoard deposited in about 1465-6. The halfgroat among the new coins is the only example of this denomination among the coins, which are otherwise pennies and groats, but there is no reason not to regard it as part of the same group. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
