Hi All - hope someone can help.

A friend of mine (not me unfortunately  Sad) recently found this cracking hammy in a field near his house. I would be (as would he) really grateful if someone could help with the ID of this coin.

Cheers
Charlie

Great find.

What size is it?

London mint, groat or halfgroat depending on size. The head size picture is very blurred, but looks like Henry VII to me. Needs better pictures to be certain.
