Description: | A struck/ hammered silver shilling of Edward VI, dating from 1549 AD (diameter: 27.8mm; thickness: 0.9mm; weight: 3.28g). This coin belongs to the second period when Edward was producing coinage in his own name. The legend has been transposed, swamping over to appear on the bust side. The intial mark that appears on both sides is the arrow, indicating that the coin was minted in London. The coin is slightly worn and in good condition with all detail still visible, particularly the king's bust in the centre. There is a large crack appearing to the bottom left of the bust.
