I forgot to mention, I did notice the tudor rose to the right of the coins with the faces dated 1591 & the 1571,  interesting (for me as just only noticed)

Hammered is not really my best subject, but the top one is Elizabeth I of England, not James VI of Scotland. Others will be better than me on the denominations.

The 1758 coin is a sixpence I believe. That and the shilling of the same date are probably the easiest of the George II silver coins to get hold of. Yours is a decent example.

Yes, both are Elizabeth sixpences. The 1591 is mintmark Hand, and the other is mintmark Eglantine, which should date it 1573-1577. Your photos aren’t clear enough to see what’s going on with the last digit of the date, but it shouldn’t be 1571, as that would make it mintmark castle?

A clearer close up of the date and mintmark would be interesting.

edit: all three sixpences in the £15-£30 bracket
