Elizabeth I Silver Milled Sixpence 1558-1603AD
26mm, 3.07g

The milled coinage of Elizabeth, was produced in a screw press introduced by the french moneyer Eloye Mestrelle in 1561. At this time it was still a slow process compared to hand striking and though of fine workmanship and superior quality, its production had ceased by 1571.

Excellent facial and bodice details.
