Description: | A sixpence of Elizabeth I, Tower mint, 1578 with a plain cross initial mark (North 1997), gilded on both sides and neatly pierced near the edge at 12 o'clock (on the obverse). This adaptation was clearly carried out to transform the item into a piece of jewellery, probably a pendant, and, as a coin of over three hundred years modified in this way, it now falls under the terms of the Treasure Act of 1996.1578, modified at a later date, probably in the late 16th or early 17th century.Diameter 26mm, weight 2.67g.
