Similar to Morrieson D-2, but not exactly the same reverse die.</p><p>Shillings are less common than halfcrowns as a denomination because a majority of Royalist troops were cavalry and 2s6d was the daily rate for a cavalier compared to a foot soldier&#039;s pay of around one shilling per day. These figures were notional as pay was not always forthcoming, being dependent on how much was raised from levies on the local population, donations, or money sequestered from supporters of Parliament.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1147349[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
