Elizabeth Halfpenny

Recommended Posts

Found this little stunner back end of last autumn,   lovely little coin, Elizabeth I Halfpenny, not the most common of coins, but not rare. always wanted to find one, some do have a mint mark some like this do not, they also did these during James I reign but his has a Thistle Mint mark

In bed and can't quite, off the top of my head, remember the chronology of the no-mark HP. The single portcullis punch has been a blessing in determining the the dates of these coins! The portcullis failed so distinctly and was equally repaired in distinctive stages.

The point I was trying to make is your's may not be a no-mark coin? I can't recall without the book the period of the no-mark, but it would need to be early, as your portcullis is very much intact!

They were of course all 6th issue, I just couldn't remember the sequence the PMs were in. The no-mark HP is the earliest in the lineup, occurring instead of the bell PM, so would be right for the complete portcullis punch.

I'll get m' coat! ?
