GREAT BRITAIN. Shilling, 1658. Oliver Cromwell, Lord Protector (1649-60). PCGS AU-53 Secure Holder.
S-3228; ESC-1005; KM-A207; North-2745. A one year issue struck the year Cromwell died (September 3, 1658). A masterpiece of the coiners art with a texturized portrait. Features a pale lilac and rosy hued tone. From a tumultuous period in British history, with some historians declaring him one of the greatest leaders of all time and others describing Oliver Cromwell as a regicidal dictator. Whatever one's own interpretation of history, the coin offered here is a marvelous portion of Commonwealth era history that is sure to add considerable gravity to the collection it joins. PCGS AU-53 Secure Holder.

Estimate: $2000.00- $2500.00
