I can tell you it is a "hammered"
I have SEEN that before.. "1 groat?" Huh?

The variations I have seen all have a shield rather than the "roselike" symbol in the center...

I would look in the neighborhood of These:

This coin really is STILL driving me mental. iIm guessing that it is fake or somthing as the front and back just doesnt add up! one side is from 1 king and seems the other is from a different king?? what is anyone''s views on this. If it is fake why was it burried deep in the ground?

I D G ROSA SINE SPINA. James by the Grace of God a rose without a thorn ....ON 1 SIDE

THEN

Civitas London A silver penny of King Edward I ...on the other side

I dont know if i should send it to a specialist to look at it as i want to keep it it may get lost in post knowing my luck! i just cant id the coin which is pretty annoying!! What would you do if you had a coin like this?? Thankyou. Lee Detecting

Hi Lee,
I'm afraid what you WILL need to do is register the coin with you local Finds Liason Officer.
If not, you might end up getting prosecuted and lose the coin!
It's over 300 years old, precious metal, and comes under the 1996 treasure act.
As it's a single find you'll likely be able to keep it.
Your local F.L.O. will likely as not get it identified.
I think it's genuine, probably a silver "penny".
