Groat Hammered, date unknown

[Citizen H 21]

managed to achieve two coins today, 

Again its possibly before i can remember so maybe picked up in 1992, 

smaller than 20p bits are missing and couldn't even guess how old it must be.

please offer all related information as I need to keep a catalogue these coins are, so when I pass them on in the family its the least I should do. Many Thanks for this, all the very best "H"

From the size, it's a penny or halfpenny H. Groats are larger and a very different design.
Edward. The reverse reads VIL /<>LA/CAL/ISI so Calais. The diamond between the Ls (<>) helps identify it further but not my area I'm afraid.

Hello Tom, and many thanks, its more now than I could read or understand the coin to have been so how the heck anyone else could do is amazing, I have read earlier this week that they were made in Calais (at the time of things) its been a great help and thank you. Rgds "H" 👍  

 

Ive also read........ Calais mint. In case you're wondering what right England had in minting coins from Calais, the answer is that England owned Calais from the reign of Edward III until Mary's reign in 1558.... so the coin may date 13 November 1312 - 21 June 1377 ?
