Queen Elizabeth I

[Urien of Rheged]

Since finding my first hammered coin, an Elizabeth 1561 sixpence up here in Lancashire England back in April 2021 she has been by far the most common hammered coin I've found since. Yesterday was number 26.
I've given three to landowners and now have a collection of 23 in my display cabinet.
That first one I found is by far the best of the bunch. None of the rest come anywhere near it.
Thanks for looking.

The coin agreed but maybe not so much Lizzie.
It's a bit ironic actually me finding all those Elizabeth's up here in the county of Lancashire, which has always been traditionally Catholic and she would have been despised as Monarch in these parts. That might account for the fact that all my others she is "erased" where as the reverses are usually in decent condition.
Now maybe Lizzie wasnt much of a looker but that Mary Queen of Scots though....well you would, wouldn't you....
