Just think how much they lost.

A Penny was cut into 4 farthings & a shilling is 12 pennies.

This one belonged to the wealthiest around, this was a months wage for 90% of the populus.

whats a hammered?

Its a commonly used term (used in the UK) to denote a coin which has been hammered between two dies to punch the design into metal. Hammered coins in the UK range from the early Medieval period until the mid-17th century. Although coins have been hammered since early BC. After hammered, you get the milled coins, produced in mills with horse power at first & then steam in the late 1790s.

Amazing coin! I agree on the plows . I pulled a nice buckle out of a battle site area a couple of months ago and a plow had had its way with it but I have pulled stuff out in great shape also. Just luck I guess. HH
