That's a lovely coin IG and in great condition, yes it's a sixpence and the mark would be an Acorn though it doesn't really matter as it's dated and all Lizzy coins were minted at the Tower mint in London ;)

Thanks guys, I am thrilled with the find  ;D

The detail didn't look that vivid until I followed the advice of a passing detectorist.

Thanks for the coin's info Geoff  8)
