Edward VI Shilling

Hello,

I do have some British coins in my collection, not many, just a few which I find historically interesting. Here is a shilling struck under the short reign of Edward VI, son of Jane Seymour and Henry VIII.

As I do not have a british coin catalogue, I would greatly appreciate any additional information on this particular issue anybody may provide.

Thanks and regards,

Eduard

this is widely accepted to be the first british shilling and it is easily the hardest one to find to complete a full shilling set,

 

Thanks moneyer12, would you know where it was minted?

 

Very nice, I like these alot. Hope to get a few by the end of the year.

 

they were generally minted in london, but some other mint varieties do exist.

 

your coin was minted in london (tower mint) in 1549. awesome coin!! i hope to obtain one someday.

 

they cost a bomb in that condition, i would hazard a guess at around £800......

 

Thank you very much swish513, just the kind of information I was looking for.

Moneyer, I glad you like this coin. I also have the shilling with the young king's portrait facing 3/4 forward. This one was (far) more difficult to find.

 

will you sell them to me???????????????
