1857 SHILLING ( GVF )

This 1857 shilling showcases a good very fine (GVF) example from the mid-Victorian period, demonstrating light wear with excellent retention of design clarity. The queen's portrait and reverse coat of arms remain sharply rendered, with lettering crisp and legible throughout. Surface detail is well-preserved with minimal loss to high points, contributing to strong visual appeal. An attractive specimen for collectors pursuing quality examples of late 1850s British silver or those building comprehensive Victoria date sets, offering genuine eye appeal and historical authenticity at a reasonable investment level from this established period of her reign.
