Description: | A pierced and fragmentary post-medieval silver half groat Charles I (1625-49), North number 2250. Mint mark uncertain, this type however would be a plume or rose mark, which would mean a date of minting c. AD 1630-1632. Some damage around the 10-1 o'clock point of the obverse however detail remains sharp. This coin has been pierced just in front of the busts mouth which goes through a quadrant of the shield. It is unclear if this was done to produce a pendant/jewellery/love token as is commonly suggested or for some other use perhaps the classic literary idea of sewing emergency coinage into ones clothing.Measurements: 16.78mm in diameter, 0.73mm thick and 0.73g in weight.
