Milled silver coinage produced from about 1630 to 1947 English coinage issued from early 1663 on is called ‘milled coinage’ because it was made in machines known as mills, though some examples had already been issued, most notably under Cromwell in 1658. Until then most English coinage had been hammered, a hand-made process that produced relatively crude and thin coins.
