Description: | A Post Medieval silver coin which is very worn. It is probably a Scottish coin of Charles I (1625-49), possibly a 40 or 20 pence denomination. The obverse is scratched and illegible. On the reverse, the design is of crown over the letters CR. The crown has a heart shaped top, and is depicted in three dimensions, so the back of the band is visible at the bottom. This is similar to the way crowns are depicted on the Irish Great Rebellion Ormonde money, but those coins do not have a legend, and this one does though it is illegible. There is no punctuation between the C and the R. Part of the legend on the obverse is visible, but not legible. The coin is not circular in shape. It has a diameter of 24.20mm, thickness 6.12mm, weight 2.51g. Compare to Seaby Volume II, number 5549 or 5551 on page 73.
