As you know, one of the rarer periods of hammered coin to find. I have only had 2 in over 20 years.

The hole was made in the rein of Charles II after Cromwells death & its means it had been collected back in by the mint & punch a hole in it for re-issue. This means that it was lost post 1660ish. So the hole is more history not the usual idiot who wanted to wear it.

Very nice find & definately worthy of the "Best"!
