Owner Comments:
A complete revamp of England's coins took place in 1816 - the great re-coinage. New machinery was installed at the mint and new dies with new designs were produced for all denominations. The detail and quality of the coins produced was a substantial improvement over previous issues. Silver coins were produced in large quantities between 1816 and 1820 and are generally not hard to find in nice condition.
