I agree, looks like it's milled. You can see the "S" on the other side, even if just slightly.Silver Searcher said:Nice Coin/Token this looks as though it was made through a milled process, which would explain the clear detail, milled coins first appeared in the UK during the reign of Elizabeth1(1561-70)
The reverse looks as if it might have been deliberetly defaced in some way, which sometimes accurs on early English coins. Nice find and interesting thread
