From the land of the Bluenose......thought I would show you a few of the finds from the vacation. Getting my rear in gear and doing an article on this trip as it did have some moments. Will post more photos later. Enjoy!

Hi Leslie,

Long time no see! Big congrats on the hammered. I hope you had a great vacation. BTW, my daughter still have the lovely little ring that you sent to her all the way from Canada

Groat (4 pennies, or 8 halves, or 16 farthings), a huge amount in the days when a farthing would buy you a good meal.

If you show the other side I will give a full ID, unless you have it. A groat is a rare hammered indeed, from the top of my head I think I have 1 in 20+ years!

The Reverse centre reads - CIVITAS (City of) LONDON (where it was minted)
