POST MEDIEVAL COIN

Unknown artist

This is what remains of a probable James I (1603-25) hammered silver sixpence. The coin is so badly worn and damaged, that further identification is now virtually impossible. The letters VI can just be made out on the obverse to the left of the portrait and given the possible remnants of the obverse legend, the coin may be of the first or second bust variety. None of the reverse legend can be reliably be read. The damage may be due to fire.
