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.

Beautiful coin and buckle :icon_thumleft: Great digs Dd60

Photo from a English coin site is that the coin of James 1st.
May have miss read your post first time, mine is the same type of coin, but it's from the second coinage. :icon_thumright:

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 :-\
 

Looking forward in seeing the cleaned version, way to go on the find. :icon_thumright:
