I would greatly appreciate any assistance identifying the mint of this tiny penny of Elizabeth I. The legend is not distinct around the periphery, and It was not easy taking decent pictures of this tiny coin. Hopefully they are clear enough, however, to determine where it was minted.

It weighs 0,54 grams.

Many thanks in advance for any help.

Peter, aiglet7, thank you very much for your replies. Very interesting.

The somewhat ragged edges led me to think some of the legend may have been clipped.

Maybe clipped but I would doubt it.The weight is there or thereabouts.The flans were tiny so a fully round piece are rare as hen's teeth.
