Testoon fragment ?

Post by Pedrosky »

I found this hammered fragment the other day and it was so mullered I just assumed it was a button. After some extreme scalpel and zap treatment I’ve managed to bring it back, hopefully enough for an ID. I think it’s Henry VIII and possibly a testoon ( I’ve only just found out that was a shilling). Thanks for any help [81/]

Or groat possibly? Just clocked the testoon doesn’t have the shield on the reverse.

You’re not wrong. Old Coppernose was really taking the mick with this one. I thought it must have been in a fire or welded to iron or something. Definitely one of the poorest condition coins I’ve had to clean.
