When researching this coin it seems that the English Hammered Coins by J.J.North and Spink, Coins of England are of different opinions of the issue of the coin.
North (ref #1997) indicates that a 1573 sixpence is that of the second coinage, whereas Spink(ref #2562) identifies it as part of the third and fourth coinage.
If anyone has any further clarification on this we would be happy to hear from them!

Following the ill-fated experiment with Mestrelle's milling technique, coin production reverted back to hand-striking for the rest of Elizabeth's reign.
