Common date, but an attractive coin.
Late strike off the dies, some minor die crack damage.
Obverse 2, reverse 3.
Same design combination was used for both shillings and sixpences for 1826. Weight will confirm the denomonation.

No wear, choice uncirculated.

Diameter will confirm denomination.

Nice shilling.Pity about the edge knocks and a few PM blemishes.
The toning is just the way I like it.
Probably UNC but mishandled along the way.
