Image description

Copper-alloy coin. This small coin was made during the reign of King Charles I (1625-49). It is known as a rose farthing and would have been worth one fourth of a penny. The rose farthing was produced with a plug of brass inserted into it, making it not only one of the earliest bi-metal coins but almost impossible to counterfeit. Discovered during the excavations of the Privy Garden at Hampton Court Palace in 1991-93
