Hello my name is Marcus and I live in Dorset, UK.

I have been metal detecting at home on the farm and found this silver hammered.

I think it is an Edward v, minted in London or Bristol. I would really appreciate any help you can give me in identifying this coin.

I am completely new to hammered coins and forums so please forgive me if I make any forum mistakes..!

Cheers, Marcus.

@lower, first welcome to CCF. Second, you will see that I've split your post off of that other thread so that your coin can get individual attention. I've also moved it over to the medieval and ancient subforum.

Not my area of expertise, but maybe Edward III half groat?

I am seeing EDWARDVS REX ANGL Z FRANC for the obverse legend, punctuation with annulets.

One of our UK experts will be able to identify it better.

Definitely London mint - the reverse inner circle has 'CIVITAS LONDON'.

Nice coin to just find at home!

For coins like this, it's helpful to post the size (mm) and weight (if you have scales that can get to 0.1g).

I agree the obverse legend is probably EDWARDVS REX ANGL (Z) FRANC, which means it has to be Edward III. (No-one else has both -VS on Edward and FRANC at the end). That legend also fits a half groat.

I think it's the Fourth Coinage, and therefore either pre or post Treaty (as it has FRANC in the legend). Unlike the one linked by @tdziemia, yours has fleurs on all the cusps and a cross pattee initial mark. But I haven't worked out which it is.

Something like this:

But the use of annulets (not saltires) makes it earlier.

The reverse says POSVI DEUM ADIVTOREM MEUM / CIVITAS LONDON, which is common to all groats and half groats.
