philadelphian Pillar of the Community United States 3253 Posts	Posted 03/18/2013 3:15 pm First of all, this coin is heavily clipped. The British Royal arms as pictured first came into use under James I. The XII on the obverse indicates a shilling, but should be to the left of the portait for James I shillings. To the right, should make this Charles I. Report this Post to the Staff

philadelphian Pillar of the Community United States 3253 Posts	Posted 03/18/2013 3:46 pm The outer edges of the coin, the part with the legends, have been trimmed away by someone to steal the silver. That may be why it was hard for you to find a matching picture. Report this Post to the Staff
