@ronanhistory: Coin clipping was the act of cutting or shaving small amounts of silver from the edges of coins. The removed silver was melted down and sold, whilst the coin was still spent at its full face value. Under Henry V, clipping coins was classed as high treason. Queen Mary repealed that classification in 1553, but it was restored again by Elizabeth I. The punishment for coin clipping could have led to the person being drawn and hanged, or burnt at the stake. The great recoinage of 1696 replaced hammered silver coins with more uniform machine-made coins. This made coins much harder to clip without it being obvious. . . . #metaldetecting #historytok #coin #HistoryTime #medieval
