Title: Couple of worn hammered for ID
Post by: Detectski on April 27, 2014, 12:44:14 PM
Found these two on pasture this morning, both very worn.

I can make out "RE" and "III" on the non pierced one so maybe a Charles 1st threepence (the field gave up a Charles 1st shilling last week).

I don't have a clue about the pierced one at the moment.

Any help appreciated  :)

Pierced one is possibly the remains of a Spanish half real of Ferdinand and Isabella, like this:
