Or Charles I, you’ll have to take a closer look at the legends under a good light 👍

I will definitely look into this again, I did try the jewellers eye, this wasn't of much help as I was left thinking it was Roman....  🤔😕

many thanks for all the guidance... "H"

over the weekend many hours spent comparing images in the Spink Coins of England & the united kingdom book......

the copper farthing is very worn and disfigured after waying up a realising it was going to be a tough call....

I have decided that its Charles I, Copper Farthing, 1625-1649.....

fortunately I haven't found any more amongst the hoard....and will be putting the hammered to one side until I've read up more.....

many thanks "H"  👍

Look rather crude to me there are various contemp copies out there , they are very common.

As they were not worth much they were often just thrown away , loads ended up in the thames as well

pretty sure its a richmond issue
