Michael-Roo Posted November 1, 2014 Posted November 1, 2014 Hi Johnshan.Milled coinage (circa 1670). Groat (fourpence). Quote
Rob Posted November 1, 2014 Posted November 1, 2014 (edited) Elizabeth 1st milled groat.The date is not 1670, but 1560-1. These were the earliest issues alongside the halfgroat and shilling. c.f The Milled Coinage of Elizabeth I by Borden and Brown, BNJ vol.53 (1983) Edited November 1, 2014 by Rob Quote
