The Poorton Civil War hoard was discovered in October 2019 under the floor of South Poorton Farm - a 17th Century longhouse situated in a small hamlet in West Dorset. The coins were found in a broken glazed pottery bowl, The hoard was deposited between 1642 and 1644 and contained a variety of gold and silver coins from the reigns of Philip & Mary through to Charles I. The hoard has been officially recorded by the British Museum and was released back to the finder by the Coroner. We managed to acquire a large selection and have on offer, some historic Silver Shillings of Elizabeth I dating from the English Civil War, each comes with a Certificate of Authenticity. These silver shillings depict the Queen on the obverse with cross over shield on the reverse. They are undated but were minted in 1560-61 (1558-60 are Rare) before a pause of 21 years, then production resumed from 1582 until the end of her reign in 1602. We have offer these popular and historic coins in VG grade, very well circulated but will have an outline portrait.
