Description: | Hammered silver sixpence of Elizabeth I, dated 1579. The obverse shows the crowned bust of Elizabeth facing left with a rose behind the head, and reads ELIZABETH D G ANG FR ET HI REGINA (Elizabeth by the grace of God Queen of England France and Ireland) with a plain cross as the initial mark. The reverse shows a long cross over the royal shield with 1579 above the shield, and reads [PO]SVI DEV ADIVTORE[M MEV] (I have made God my helper), presumably with a plain cross as initial mark, although this is no longer visible, due to clipping. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 1579 | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Rachel Atherton | Identifier: | http://www.finds.org.uk/database/artefac... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
