Description: | A fragment of a silver halfcrown of Charles I. The obverse has been filed smooth and the border containing the reverse legend has been removed, leaving a round garnished shield containing the arms of Great Britain. The resulting disc has been pierced centrally for use as a mount of some sort. This re-use has presumably not occurred very many years after the use of the original as a coin and probably belongs to the second half of the 17th century. Date: 1625-1649 Dimensions: Diameter 25mm. Weight 3.31g. Owing to the adaptation described above this coin is now classified as an object; thus the age and precious metal content of this item therefore qualify it as treasure under the stipulations of the Treasure Act 1996.
