1711 SHILLING ( GF ) HOLED

A fascinating holed shilling from 1711, a Queen Anne issue bearing a deliberate perforation indicative of its conversion into a personal keepsake or decorative charm. This Good Fine example showcases impressive detail retention across both surfaces despite the modification and three centuries of age, with clear portraiture and legible inscriptions. Holed coins offer compelling insights into Georgian social customs and personal sentiment. An intriguing acquisition for collectors drawn to numismatic oddities, early 18th-century coinage, or those exploring the cultural significance of currency beyond its monetary function.
