Help to identify coin please

[Johnshan 2]

Hi everyone I'm new to coin collecting and to this forum.

I have enjoyed reading the most recent topics posted on this site and look forward to more.

I need help please in identifying an Elizabeth 1st coin. It measures 2.4 cm, or in English 15/16ths inch. Made of silver and has no date

.Thanks for your help.

Hi Johnshan.

Milled coinage (circa 1670). Groat (fourpence).

[Rob 3,152]

Elizabeth 1st milled groat.

The date is not 1670, but 1560-1. These were the earliest issues alongside the halfgroat and shilling. c.f The Milled Coinage of Elizabeth I by Borden and Brown, BNJ vol.53 (1983)

Thank you both for your help I was put of the groat route due to its size. Thanks again.
