You are kidding me 'weakly struck' :laughing9: :laughing9: :laughing9:
Its full fan, full legend, outstanding example of a hammered which you could search your whole life without finding :D
Dad & I have had 1 Shilling (Lizy) in 30 combined years, I still have yet to find one of any period, & Dad rubs it in with a Halfcrown the other day :laughing7:

I would have been doing cartwheels over that one, lets see the good pictures both sides? Then I think its time to start voting :thumbsup:

Is this the hill grass field?
Thanks Cru, it's from the field next door, the cows chased us off the other one. Not kidding, nearly got nasty :help:.

I'm assuming it not the 'plume over shield' type? :o
No, but where it should say BRI on the obverse, it say's BRIT. :dontknow:

BRIT is a known 2nd & 3rd coinage variant in my detailed book.

I need my classes Cru, the mint mark rose was also used for the third coinage, and not just the second :icon_thumright:

Cancel that, I am an idiot. Just read the coin book better (after info from Cru). The rose mint mark was also used on the third coinage. That would make this coin 1620-1.

Don't cancel it just yet, I edited my post. The BRIT legend was for the 'second & third', does this confuse it anymore :-\
