Hello guys,

I picked up this very miss treated silver hammered coin (I think its hammered, looks thin for milled and its clipped) but it might be milled...scottish?

From the original photo I saw I thought it may have been a very worn commonwealth crown but it appears not as the identifiable wreath is not the same style as found on the commonwealth crowns.

Facts:

Apparently found metal detecting in the UK

A little bigger than a Charles I half crown

Surface area is significantly worn, only the wreath part is identifiable, the other patterns may be features of the coin, or they may be the mottled effects of the tool that has caused so much damage.

Nothing is identifable on the other side.

Any help would be appreciated!

Could you get a better quality picture?

I think after almost 10 years he's probably given up on this one 🤔
