Description: | A worn and clipped silver coin of Elizabeth I (AD 1558-1603). The coin may have been a half groat but all the outer ring of the coin has been clipped away, removing the legends on both faces and leaving only the inner designs; the obverse has been rubbed smooth and it is not possibly to make out the bust (facing left). The reverse is not as worn and a partial date of (AD) 157(?) can be seen above the shield. This coin may have been clipped to function as smaller change as it now weighs 1 gram, the same as a penny of the same period. However it may also have been cut down and worn smooth to act as a type of 'love' token.
