Description: This is a magnificent George III Silver Shilling from 1817. It is a truly excellent example of a very fine coin. This shilling belongs to the milled era, specifically 1816-1837. Noted for its intricate design and historical significance , this coin makes it a valuable addition to any collection. I have checked the grading from Royal Mint and believe it to be 'very fine' From Royal Mint: A ‘Very Fine’ coin grading describes a coin that features limited sign of wear on its raised surface. For a coin to receive this grade it must feature obvious but relatively restricted wear on the highest portions of the coin, which has also experienced minimal circulation. More Information: In 1816 the Currency Reform Act came into force, which allowed coins to be struck even without the Monarch’s permission. This was put into place because of King George III’s illness and the shortage of small change. From 1816 on, new designs, new weights, new everything. These are the first of the new Sterling Silver Shillings issued from 1816-1820. You have the bull head of the King on one side and a crowned shield on the other side.
