Description: | Pierced hammered silver coin of Elizabeth I dating between 1558 and 1603AD. It is only possible to make out POSVI on the reverse legend. The diameter is 18mm and the weight is 0.77g.If suspended from the piercing, neither the obverse nor the reverse would be upright. It is therefore highly unlikely to have been used as a pendant or ornament. It is more likely that the perforation allowd a cord to be passed through the coin to deter theft. As such it would not qualify as treasure.
