I got a hammered thingamajig, what is it?

[smokeythecat]

I was looking through relics today, I cleaned (some) of the truck out and went to the store, and had a happy nap and am now sorting and cleaning relics found since Christmas. This is from a 17th century site, still in use today. It is a hammered thingamajig, looks like some sort of Rose Farthing, but it is still dirty and I don't want to touch it as of yet. But the evening is still early. Another hammered! I think that's like #6 in the last 2 years. Two Elizabeth II shillings, 1 James I Rose Farthing, 1 Phillip II of Spain dog food Maravedis, 1 other Maravedis 167- something, forget the ruler, and a week ago the hammered silver German 14th century dog food item. Not including two Spanish cobs, a 1 reale and and 8 from the ocean beach. The fun has started! Two years ago I found two Spanish maravedis and two Roman coins in Jersey. And just in case you wondered, the sites are about 200 miles apart.

But what? Ideas please?

It sure does look to be a hammered. Congrats!

Thanks. There is a rose on one side, I learned that from my other coin, and crossed arrows? and maybe a tiny crown? on the other side. I have my Andre's pencils standing by but haven't touched it at this time.

I've been looking on the net. Charles I?

Thanks colonial78. I'm going to take a very deep breath, do a couple things, then get out the Andre's pencils and see if I can wipe off some of the dirt and not the coin design! IT IS a coin.

[smokeythecat]

I just wiped it off and let it dry.

CHARLES I ROSE FARTHING ? I see a crown on the top of the rose.

Yes, that is correct. Hey! I changed cameras. I think this is much better. BTW yours is nicer! Man, it almost looks like the exact same coin. Neat.

 

[Colonial78]

Not my coin....... here is the other side....

Colonial78, I am convinced you nailed it as Charles I. Thanks. My Deus will find these tiny things. Yesterday it came up with a piece of Civil War camp lead 1/8" across!
