First time out for several weeks, all my fields being in crop, so l tried round the edges of a Potato field,that has given me several Roman coins in the past. Found this little beauty!! Oliver Cromwell silver Penny.
Just Half an inch across, and 0.3 gram.
Great find John , that's a period that has eluded me so far. I've managed to hit all around that era, but no commonwealth as yet . Once again, well done
They still illude me also Commonwealth coins were also known as Breeches Money(slang) issued between 1649 and 1660, During the Time of Oliver Cromwell(1599-1658) Hammered coins from this period bear no portrait of a king or queen for there was none.
Great find John
