Hi Andy. Coins like this with a date will be sixpences (or if smaller, thruppence). The lion privy mark on the reverse makes it a third issue coin from 1566-67, though I'm not sure about the bust variety. Spink 2562 maybe? Someone else might help there.

I am a bit bemused by what appears to be a cross mark on the obverse in the legend. Not sure if that's normal or an oddity. Lizzie coins aren't my speciality I'm afraid.
