Hi, it's not in the best of condition, but it LOOKS like a Fifth issue shilling (1582-1600), letter A mintmark. These would be worth around £100 in Fine condition - yours is Fine for the legend, Nearly Fine for the reverse design, but barely Fair for the portrait. (A good portrait is all-important for these coins). Value? Guesstimate only, I would say maybe around £30? Perhaps a bit more.

A bit of grafitti on the obverse which is interesting in its own right.

Usually the queens head is practically invisible.

Also a nice round flan.

On ebay with a decent picture finishing on a Sunday evening I would expect up to £40....but equally it might slip through on a Monday lunch time for less than £10.
