Coinery Posted September 19 Posted September 19 (edited) I know the mint was closed for relocation and reworking of the dies to improve quality in 1650, but there were coins minted for other denominations…were there definitely no shillings? I’m 99% certain this is a 6 that’s drifted off flan, but thought I’d ask, just in case someone had heard of a random die that may have been used as part of a trial?

Ukstu Posted September 19 Posted September 19 Yes 1656. Like you say drifted off the flan. They occasionally pop up. Stu. 1 Quote

Coinery Posted September 20 Author Posted September 20 Interesting and educational read, here, on the counterfeiting of these shillings by Gary Oddie, just in case anyone’s interested! https://britnumsoc.blog/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/188-cft-commonwealth-oddie.pdf 2 Quote
