The 1553-1558 Groat - Mary ISilver Groat of Queen Mary I. It was minted between 1553 and 1558. Although Mary only ruled as Mary I during 1553-1554, the design was also used during the joint reign of Philip and Mary. On better condition coins you may tell as the first period used a pomegranate mint mark, while the later used a lis mint mark.
The Obverse shows a crowned bust of Queen Mary.
The Reverse is a long cross over a quartered shield.Image credit: American Numismatic Society
