A rare silver shilling from the sixth issue of Elizabeth I's reign, dated 1590. This authentic Tudor coin features the iconic portrait of the Virgin Queen in her later years, with fine detail work characteristic of the period's coinage. The reverse displays the royal coat of arms within a shield.
In excellent condition for its age, this shilling represents a significant piece of English numismatic history. Elizabeth I's reign saw numerous coinage reforms, and the sixth issue is particularly sought after by collectors. Each coin bears the marks of four centuries, with natural patina that confirms its genuine provenance.
A wonderful addition to any collection of Tudor coins or English historical currency.
