Description: | A silver hammered sixpence of Elizabeth I, 1558-1603. Obverse shows a crowned bust left with rose behind head. Obverse legend reads ELIZAB[D G ANG FR ET]HIB REGI. Reverse shows solid long cross fourchee with royal shield, 15[9]6 above. The third digit above the shield is quite worn but seems to have the tail of a number 9. If the date is 1596 the initial mark should be a woolpack. The area of the initial mark on the obverse is worn but the slightly visible mark in the area of the initial mark could fit with the shape of a woolpack. The top half of the legend is missing either through having been clipped or due to the flan being too small for the die. The reverse legend reads [POSV]I/DEV.AD/IVTORE/M.MEV. . Die axis is 6 o'clock. Weight is 2.07g, diameter is 24.04mm, thickness is 0.80mm.See North, J.J. Vol.II, 1991, p.137, no.2015 (third issue AD1583-1603). Also Seaby's 14th ed. p.142, no.1929 & 1932.
