    A friend found this coin a while ago and has asked me for help in identifying it. It was found in a field in Kent Uk, is hammered silver and around the same size as an English groat. I looked at it and said that it was not English, I suspected that it was French ( although I freely admit, European coinage is not my bag). I can make out part of the legend Rolvs:Dei:Gra:Dux but I am uncertain of the rest. If you would like to help my friend out in the identification of this coin, I would be grateful.
    I am not going to post the jpg on my site but I will send you a scan if you wish to help!

    Thanks Guys

    I believe your coin is one by Charles VII. Without more info it is hard to say which one. But if you care to browse through this site - you should be able to find it.

    You can't - unless you have it authenticated.
