Groat, sixpence or medalet?

[Nicholas 51]

Does anyone know about this sixpence sized Elizabeth coin struck in silver? I've seen it described as a counter as well..

It is a silver pattern sixpence, mentioned in both Peck and North. Akin to the pledge penny.

I don't have any of the literature with me as I'm currently travelling but I hope this helps somewhat.

Any info iis great, if I recall Peck is vague and mentions a few possible denominations. To me it's a sixpence and like you stated, resembles the pledge penny.

I will have access to my library tomorrow, I'll take a gander and post any results here.

If you have access to North take a look at #2050. Listed as a penny struck in gold, silver, copper or tin. Same legend and date described as "may be a pattern groat or medalet".

Perhaps Crowther's 1887 'A Guide to English Pattern Coins' might be able to shed some more light upon it.
