    I have this UK Metal Detector 'find' and I was hoping that someone more knowledgeable than I might have a clue as to what I have.
    I have photographed the coin with different light sources hoping to bring out more detail. I would be grateful for any ideas, please?
    (Apparently) AE17.3mm., 0.45gm. (Very thin)

    Not much to work with but possibly a Charles I Farthing. Check out something like Seaby 3185

    I think it’s a Richmond issue, but what type I can’t tell. I suppose you could use the position of the crown relative to the CAROL.

    I have just returned from hospital after cataract surgery.
    I am 'blind' (bandages) so my wife is typing this.
    I will be back in a couple of days.
    Thank-you to all who have posted.

    Thank-you @Severus Alexander for your kind wishes.
    Bandages off now and sight restored. (Everyone should get new lenses in their eyes - The world is so beautiful - one forgets.)

    Thanks to @Milesofwho , and to @Oldhoopster , and to @Severus Alexander for the help in identifying this Charles I coin for me. Your input is much appreciated.
    I am happy to describe the coin as :-
    Charles I, 1625-1649 AD
    'Royal' Farthing,
    AE 17.3 mm., 0.45 gm.,
    Richmond Mint
    Ref: Sp.'98 3185
