I can't help with an ID Maxine but that's a lovely find.

I think those double struck coins are great, you can just picture the Moneyer banging away with his Hammer trying to get them just right!

Well done

BB

Well Done Maxine - you always produce the good results!

Was it this side of the bridge or were you pillaging the English again? ;D

Photo below is of a pair of hammered coin dyes, I thought members might like to see. Looks like it is for a groat.

Cheers
Neil
