Tudor?

Recommended Posts

I bought about half a dozen hammered coins a few month back and they were labelled as Tudor.  There were some nice coins, pennies, half groats, threepence and they all seemed to be Liz 1st, James, Mary etc.  This small one though I couldn't identify - is it a Tudor coin? Hopefully the pics will tell - it's actually easier to see in the pic than in the hand. Kind of looks like a knight on a horse maybe and a priest or king with a septre on the other side. Thank you for looking.

It is difficult to tell from the picture.  If possible take another photo that is clearer.  Best to use a camera rather than a phone, and as bright lighting is possible to reduce lens blur and shake.  The man on horseback does not look like any English coin of the period.

At a glance it looks like a Venetian soldino or ‘galley halfpenny’, widely circulated in the UK in the C16/17.
