Owner Comments:
Two Shillings. This is closer in silver content to a US half dollar than the British Half Crown is. This coin is graded lower than our shilling and half crown, but, looks the best in my book. I like shiny things, like a raccoon.
21,064,000 minted.
16 in higher grades at NGC with 9 others in MS61.
11 in higher grades at PCGS, with none in MS61 there.
