It's 1572, mintmark ermine, but the '2' in the date is inverted. Title: Re: I've got sixpence, jolly jolly sixpence .... Post by: Jassy on April 05, 2011, 06:05:01 PM ooohhh matron! thats a lovely coin!!

Title: Re: I've got sixpence, jolly jolly sixpence .... Post by: handyman [Alan} on April 05, 2011, 07:44:50 PM thank you everyone for the comments. i'm even more intrigued as to why the number 2 in the date is inverrted.
was this a common practice at that time? Title: Re: I've got sixpence, jolly jolly sixpence .... Post by: rjm on April 05, 2011, 09:05:43 PM Nice find, Al.
