Hi Steve - I assume you've checked the size, which will be about 19mm if it's a threepence.

Otherwise, not a lot to say really. It's a 1567 third issue threepence, mintmark would be lion or coronet, but too worn to see. Spink number is 2565 or 2566.

Nice coin Steve, I've not found a Lizzy for yonks!
Most of the coins I have found from her reign don't show the date so that's a bonus too.
Well done  :)
