It's quite rare to see Elizabeth 1 portrait as many coins were defaced. Here is one in better condition from my finds.

This find came up in a field in Nov 2018. 100 years after the end of WW1. Pte William C Burrage is listed in medal records as 1914 .. R4 068713 ( not 068718 as on badge). Intriguing and interesting .. He lived in Hutton Cranswick and survived the war. His battalion looked after horses.

Utterly Butterly, Utterly Beautiful ... Celtic Gold Corieltauvi Stater. Found by me near Hull. Has a unique inverted reverse design and is in absolutely mint condition for a 2000 year old coin.
