1663 SHILLING ( NF )

This 1663 shilling from the reign of Charles II exemplifies mid-17th century English silver coinage. Graded in near fine condition, the piece retains substantial detail despite moderate circulation wear, with legible inscriptions and discernible portrait features. Shillings of this vintage are increasingly difficult to locate in collectible grades, particularly from the earlier Restoration period. The coin's historical significance lies in its connection to a transformative era in British monetary policy and royal portraiture. An authentic specimen of this date represents a worthwhile acquisition for serious numismatists building comprehensive collections of Stuart-era currency.
