Description: | A medieval silver coin: a heavily clipped half groat of Edward IV, first reign (1461-70), light coinage, Canterbury mint. There is a small, circular piercing at 7 o'clock on the obverse, but there is no further evidence to suggest that the coin was taken out of circulation and used as an object. For this reason it is considered as a single precious metal coin and therefore does not meet the criteria of the Treasure Act. It is 18.9mm in diameter and 0.8mm thick. It weighs 1.2gm. Reference: North, volume 2, numbers 1589/90.
