There were only two, possibly three years in which Groats were minted during the reign of Queen Elizabeth 1, and there were no Groats minted from 1562 to about 1640. The following is an estimate for a Groat coin which may have been minted in or around 1561.
A British 1561(?) silver Groat (Fourpence)(QE I), circulated but still in good condition, might fetch anything from £135 to £600 GBP.

The Royal Mint produced no Groat (Fourpence) coins from 1777 to 1779 inclusive.
Due to Britains ongoing expenses with various wars in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, there were very few silver or copper coins minted, subsequently there were a great many privately minted tokens and counterfeit coins produced.
To get an estimate of value on a privately minted token, you need to provide the details of the inscription on the token.

When did the British Groat go out of circulation?
The last British Groat (Fourpence) coins minted for general circulation were issued in 1855. There were Proof coins minted in 1857, 1862 and 1888. The Groat does not seem to have been officially withdrawn from circulation at any time and was still being used in some ceremonies well into the 20th century. Circulation of the Groat just seems to have declined as most found their way into coin collections. The Groat has continued to be produced as part of the British silver Maundy set, an annual ceremony which continues to this day. The Groat is no longer circulated since the silver content and numismatic value of the Maundy coins far outweigh their face values.

A British silver Groat (Fourpence)(George III), circulated but still in good condition, it might fetch anything from £7 to £45 GBP.

A reputable coin dealer will be able to give a more accurate valuation based on inspection of the coin.
