A significant piece of English monetary history, this 1554 Philip and Mary shilling represents a unique period of joint rulership. Minted during the reign of Philip II of Spain and Queen Mary I of England, this coin reflects the political alliance between the two monarchs.
The shilling features carefully struck detail characteristic of mid-16th century English coinage. As a period example from this historically important era, it offers collectors genuine insight into Tudor-era currency and the Anglo-Spanish relationship of the 1550s.
A notable addition to any collection of rare English coins or historical numismatics.
