TomGoodheart Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 Cool! Yes, I think three strikes .. plus a bit if encrustation. I wonder how much they circulated for in England? . Quote
Nutsaboutcoins Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 Would they have circulated in England or would it only have been used in trade with the continent? I suspect a lot of foreign coinage would have ended up in the drink at all our major ports, one way or another. Quote
Danelaw Posted September 25, 2015 Author Posted September 25, 2015 Quite right! All those sailors getting in and out of boats coming back from shore leave, three sheets to the wind. Quote
