Description: | A post medieval debased silver shilling of Edward VI dating to 1549 AD. Minted in London (North 1917). This coin has a particularly brassy appearance, has been double-struck on both sides and the reverse die is quite crude. It measures 30.2mm (diameter) x 1.1mm (thickness) and weighs 5.21g. It is possible that this is a particularly faithful contemporary copy however North notes that all of the known 1548 shillings are also brass alloy (North 1975, 100).
