Here's one i found last week on a field in Scotland. Henry VI 1422-30 minted in Calais. Used as a Amulet at some point with the Cross (God) being more important than the King.

Solo, you're making me want to try my metal detector out around my bit. Where did you find that?
And congratulations to your young lad, EartOccupant, whether real or repro, to him it will be a priceless artifact (assuming he is a young[/I] lad ha ha

You found it. In a field. 15th century coin... just chilling... in a field. Why can't I ever be this lucky?

Earth occupant is no relation to me..? I found the coin in Central Scotland with my metal detector.
Sorry to take so long replying. It has been a hectic month. The coin is from Thasos, islands off the Thracian coast of Greece. It dates to the late 5th-mid 4th Century BC and the denomination is a trihemiobol. These are fairly common; depending on condition most are worth between $50 and $100. I hope this was helpful. Please let me know if I can be of further help. Regards, Guy Clark
