Die axis 6 o'clock.These coins could all have been in circulation at the same time and probably represent a purse loss. The latest date the youngest coin could have been minted in 1698, so it iv very likely that the hoard dates from before 1712. As the silver coins contain more than 10% silver, they meet the requirements of the 1996 Treasure Act.
