Yes, I realize that the crown was producing specie for centuries before this, but it's the first I've acquired that predates the scope of my little guide book to predecimal coinage. At 26 mm in diameter and weighing 5.93 grams, it's clearly a shilling. 1758 was the last year that this denomination was struck for George II.
