I managed to pick up a rather worn Charles I shilling. These are not my usual area (though I'm after one portrait coin from each British ruler).
The series seems to be quite a complex one so I'm wondering if anyone has any insight into a narrower identification
many thanks
Yes. Your shilling is Spink 2791, Sharp E2/2. The crown mint mark dates it to between June 1635 and February 1626. I'm afraid I don't know the Krause number fo rit, sorry.
