1709 SHILLING ( EF )

This 1709 shilling from Anne's reign exemplifies early 18th-century English silver coinage in exceptional fine condition. The piece displays minimal wear with sharp striking detail throughout, preserving the sovereign's portrait and reverse heraldry with impressive clarity. Coins from Anne's relatively brief reign (1702-1714) are particularly sought after by collectors, as mintage figures were comparatively modest and survival rates in premium grades remain limited. The shilling's status as the principal circulating silver denomination underscores its importance within the period's monetary framework. An example of this quality offers both aesthetic appeal and historical substance, making it an outstanding addition to advanced collections focused on early Georgian numismatics.
