Description: | Here we have a very fine example of a silver groat of Mary (1553-54). The coin has been bent into the style of a 'love token' and is perhaps unusual in that most 'love tokens' tend to use debased/worn coinage.The obverse depicts the crowned bust and the legend has the pomegranate mintmark after MARIA. Each element of the remaining legend is separated by an annulet and crescent. The reverse has the typical square-topped shield on a long cross fourchée.
