A hammered silver post medieval groat of Henry VII (1485-1509). The obverse has the fine profile side portrait of the crowned king facing right with the 'regular issue' triple band to crown. The reverse has the long cross fourchee, over royal shield. Both sides have the cross-crosslet mintmark (21) which dates this coin to the period of 1504-5. The obverse legend is separated by crosslets which have added annulets to either side of the 'VII'. The reverse legend is distinguished by pairs of crosslets. The coin is in well struck and in fine condition; the surface is now blackened with age.North Number 1743
