Thats a beauty Mark - tell Jaydogg well done from me. I think he's right with the guess he text me as its the same as the clipped groat I found way back when I first started with you.

Henry VI calais mint if I remember right. Peter I am sure will confirm it.

well done lads

Neil

Great find. Can you confirm the size please mark?
I believe it is a Henry VII halfgroat, Canterbury mint.

20mm is about right for a halfgroat, confirming the ID above.
