This just in - GB Milled sixpence from 1562 - an upgrade for me. Interesting history around these: GB didn't finally go over to milled coinage for another hundred years. This foray into early milling was brought about by a Frenchman - Eloy Mestrelle - employed at The Royal Mint for a short while. It did not end well with him eventually imprisoned in the Tower and executed. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eloy_Mestrelle for more detail.  |

Beautiful coin, PaddyB! Quote:
imprisoned in the Tower and executed A sad ending to such an industrious fellow. Evidently there is much not included on the Wiki page. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

Very Nice Coins guys. Love the sixpence paddy. Ok Shhhh not a word to anyone  I have just been on a raid to foreign shores and quite frankly I am gob smacked. PCGS MS63 1946 Brass Threepence One of the 2 key dates for the series along with the 1949. At auctions these readily make £350-£600 in the UK and for some unknown reason totally ignored by other countries. And a 1959 Florin 2 shillings Which are really tough to get in top grades NGC MS64 Opening bid secured both so I am chuffed to bits     |
