Description: | A fragment of a post-medieval hammered silver halfgroat of Henry VIII, mint uncertain. The obverse has a forward facing bust and a legend containing double saltire stops which reads: [--- HI]BE REX (an extra 'E' seems to have been inserted between 'HIB' and REX). The reverse has a shield on a long cross fourchee, the arms of which terminate in a pellet within a circle. The legend reads: [POSVI DEVM ADIV]TORE[EM MEV].As the class of the coin is uncertain, only a broad date of 1509-1547 may be assigned to it. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
