Scarborough castle suffered a full year long siege in which Sir Hugh Chomley handed out coins at the rate of sixpence a day to those repairing walls. The Scarborough money gives good examples of the rough cut nature of the coins - it is often obvious that they were made from crafted objects rather than featureless metal. The value was determined by the weight of the silver.
Charles I, siege coin, assorted denominations, Scarborough, 1644-1645AD. S3168-80
