1578 Threepence Copy

[Rob 3,002]

Just picked this up in a lot. Quite a decent effort, but cast and the weight (2.25g)/excessive thickness a bit of a giveaway. Interestingly, it came with a hand-made paper ticket giving the description and on the other side, 'Windsor 15-8-56', so clearly this one has been around for quite a while. Whether bought in Windsor, or from someone called Windsor I'm not sure, but it's the sort of place that you would associate with souvenir shops stocking such items.

That’s a VERY good effort. I can’t 100% recall, will take a look, but I’m pretty certain I had a similar-quality copy of a sixpence with the same date and mark.
