1886 SHILLING ( FINE ) DIE 57

This 1886 shilling from Victoria's reign presents in fine condition, retaining substantial detail with moderate wear consistent with period circulation. The sovereign's portrait remains clearly defined and inscriptions are readily legible, providing reliable authentication. The "Die 57" designation indicates specific die identification, offering numismatists precise cataloguing information valuable for die variety studies and production analysis.

An authentic specimen of this date and die combination provides both historical substance and technical numismatic merit, suitable for collectors interested in the mechanical and production aspects of 19th-century coinage manufacture.
