silver coin 1285
i found this in my 1st year detecting and haven't found anything as good since.
here's the reply from the museum.( i have posted this before) Dear Mr Smith, This is a sterling or 'crockard' of the Duchy of Brabant (now in Belgium) struck for Duke John I (1261-94) or John II (1294-1312) between the 1280s and c.1300. Crockards circulated in England in large numbers until they were effectively eliminated by a recoinage in 1299-1300. Dr Martin Allen Department of Coins and Medals Fitzwilliam Museum
