English Hammered Coins
and the
Coinage of Napoleon Bonaparte
Specializing in the coins of Elizabeth I, James I and Charles I

This is a reasonable example of a very difficult date, it appears to be an overdate as well as the 7 appears to be over a six. There is a small line going from the base of the 7 to the top and overall it looks to be within a rounded area, see the
upclose scan below.

Overall the condition of the coin is about Fine, there are parts that are better, namely the ruff and crown, the outline of the portrait is there but not much facial detail.  There is also a slight wave to the coin.

The reverse is pretty nice with most of the quadrants of the shield being there and a reasonable portion of the legend.  The flan is a little small, so has probably seen a little clipping or silver shaving, typical of the era.
