NumisRob Bedrock of the Community United Kingdom 17982 Posts	Posted 02/05/2020 5:46 pm Hello and Looks like an English Charles II silver crown to me. Is the diameter approximately 38.6mm and weight about 30g? It should also have an edge inscription: DECUS ET TUTAMEN ANNO REGNI VICESIMO OCTAVO. If it's 34mm in diameter and weighs about 15g, then it's a halfcrown.

Sss365 New Member United Kingdom 8 Posts	Posted 02/05/2020 7:01 pm Thanks for the welcome. Thank you for the information, its weight is 13.8g so I'm presuming half a crown. I can see there was an inscription on the edge once, but cant make it out anymore, too worn. Thanks again Report this Post to the Staff
NumisRob Bedrock of the Community United Kingdom 17982 Posts	Posted 02/06/2020 03:53 am Definitely a halfcrown. The edge inscription is often illegible on worn coins, and the wear would account for the loss of weight.

PaddyB Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 945 Posts	Posted 02/06/2020 09:35 am They are made in 0.925 (Sterling) silver. Value on this one is moot - many coin collectors would turn their nose up at it as it is so worn, but people interested in the history and age of it might still pay £20 or £30. Silver value is about £6.50. Report this Post to the Staff
