A neighbour had this coin for years, I recently purchased it, I have a couple of Elizabeth 1st shillings, but this one appears to have EIZABETH or ETIZABETH, could it be a die error? are these common? I believe it to be genuine as my neighbour told me where they found it. Edited by paratrend 12/02/2010 1:58 pm Report this Post to the Staff

The shape of letters on hammered coins sometimes is a bit goofy, but I think I see a definite "L" As a comparison I'm including another shilling from the same (2nd) issue with "L" not well defined either. You can date QE1 shillings by mintmarks. Your coin has a cross, the other example has a martlet, both point to the 2nd issue, 1560-61. Report this Post to the Staff
