Two of my latest finds not been getting out as much due to work commitments so was nice finding couple of hammered coins . A queen mary I groat and a king stephen cut half penny cross moline type 1 watford. My first norman coin .
Those are some fantastic finds. I had to buy my Mary. Mary (1553 - 1554 A.D.) AR Groat O: mΛRIΛ : (pomegranate) D’. G’. ΛnG'. FRΛ’. Z : hIB’. RЄGI’, crowned bust left; double and single annulet stops. R: VЄRITΛ S (pomegranate) TЄm PORIS FILIΛ, royal coat-of-arms over long cross fourchée. Tower (London) mint; im: pomegranate 23mm 1.86g North 1960; SCBC 2492
Very nice. Not really ancients but very cool nonetheless. English coinage is really nice. I recently dipped my toes back into medieval and Tudor with two acquisitions. May as well share. John Norwich Mint under moneyer Renaud (Ronald) Elizabeth I Sixpence I plan on adding more English. Currently hunting for a Groat of Henry VII
