Shilling
WG-7302:
1787 George III
Silver Shilling. With semee of hearts, en medaille die orientation, Spink
3746. Sometimes referred to as “The
King’s Shilling” because after George II issued his last shilling of 1758 and
before George III issued his “Last” coinage shilling of 1816, this 1787 was
literally the only new shilling in town.
When conscripts were offered the King’s shilling to sign onboard a ship,
it would invariably have been one of these that they received to bind the
deal. £98
