1758 SHILLING ( VF ) HOLED

A distinctive holed shilling from 1758, a George II issue bearing evidence of historical use as a love token or charm. Despite the deliberate perforation, this Very Fine example retains exceptional striking detail with sharp portraiture and well-defined reverse lettering—remarkable preservation for a coin nearly three centuries old. Holed coins possess unique numismatic and social history appeal, representing personal narratives from Georgian England. A compelling specimen for collectors interested in numismatic curiosities, Georgian coinage, or the cultural practices surrounding 18th-century currency.
