Such a coin does not exist. The last British Groat (Fourpence) was issued for circulation in 1855.
The British Groat (fourpence) has never been minted with a hole. If somebody has drilled a hole in your Groat or any other coin, it is worthless.
A groat is a small coin, and the phrase basically means I do not care very much.

Groat
The Groat of 1421 was a hammered silver coin of about 3.9 grams. Because it was a hammered coin, the shape was irregular but generally round. It might have been about 25mm in diameter.
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. A reputable coin dealer will be able to identify your coin and give a more accurate valuation.
The groat was a silver coin worth four pence, but it hasn't been produced for circulation since the 1850s.
The name "groat" was derived from any one of many medieval European coins such as the "gros tournois" the "groot" of the "groschen" to mention a few. The term was applied to any large silver coin. The English Groat was a large silver coin when it was introduced during the 13th century.
An English 1356-1361 silver Groat (Edward III), depending on the variant and condition, might fetch anything from £40 to £475 GBP. The values quoted are the best possible for the best specimens in their grades, but may be significantly lower due to varying demand for the coin and the prevailing economic climate. A reputable coin dealer will be able to identify your coin properly and give a more accurate valuation based on inspection of the coin.
The British Groat, as distinct from a Maundy Fourpence, was minted irregularly from 1763 to 1800, and not at all from 1801 to 1820. A British silver Groat (Fourpence)(George III), circulated but still in good condition, it might fetch anything from £7 to £45 GBP. The 1765 coin might get substantially more and is one to look out for. The values quoted are the best possible for the best specimens in their grades, but may be significantly lower due to varying demand for the coin and the prevailing economic climate. A reputable coin dealer will be able to give a more accurate valuation based on inspection of the coin.
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.
