<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rexesq, post: 1098245, member: 5739&quot;]I read the book &#039;The Life and Times of George III&#039; by John Clarke, and found it to be quite interesting. I would reccommend it to anyone interested in the subject.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is my example of the so called &#039;bull head&#039;, as moneyer12 pointed out, mine is a Shilling of 1817, not high grade or anything, but I paid just $5 a couple years back for it, and I find it to be a lovely coin. I must say, I much prefer this type of head to the one used on the 1820 silver Crowns of King George III. Of course, the earlier portraits of George III are my favorite.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Collector 1966</b>: I see what you are talking about, as far as the the &#039;V&#039;s you describe around the inner rampant lion, I always thought they looked like stars, but looking closely, now they do look like &#039;V&#039;s..... you can see them around the smaller rampant lion in the center of the reverse on my Shilling example. I don&#039;t have a sixpence of the type myself, so I haven&#039;t tried to compare the two as you have.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
