1838 SHILLING ( GF )

This 1838 shilling presents a good fine (GF) specimen from the inaugural year of Victoria's reign. The coin displays moderate circulation wear with legible inscriptions and recognisable design elements on both obverse and reverse. While surface detail has softened through use, the piece retains historical significance as a first-year issue under the young queen. An economical choice for collectors pursuing early Victorian silver or those assembling comprehensive Victoria date sequences without premium investment, offering authentic period currency with genuine numismatic appeal.
