<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Aidan Work, post: 129613, member: 1824&quot;]I have got an Elizabethan 1/- with the Hand mintmark,which indicates that the coin was struck between 1590</p><p>&amp; 1592.I also have a few Sixpences,which are all dated.The &#039;Mill Money&#039; coins are of interest,as these were struck in 1561-69 by a Frenchman named Eloye Mestrelle,who was later dismissed &amp; hung for forging coins.</p><p>Mestrelle&#039;s unsuccessful experiment proved to be far slower than the old craft method of striking coins by hand.I don&#039;t have any &#039;Mill Money&#039; yet.The Testerns are too expensive,as they are so rare.</p><p><br /></p><p>Aidan.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
