- Abstract
The text documents the recent find of an English half-shilling (sixpence) struck in 1569 found in the field belonging to the land register of the Blato village, near Pardubice. Find of an English coin struck in the 16th century is extraordinary in the Bohemian milieu, because such coins were not a part of the local monetary circulation. Piercing of the coin points to the commemorativefunction of the piece, and the coin obviously came to Bohemia as a souvenir brought there via gallant or study journeys to England during the Elizabethan era.
