Great Britain
Elizabeth I (1558-1603) Shilling ND (1592-1595) AU Details (Reverse Repaired) NGC, Tower mint, Tun mm, Sixth Issue, Bust 6B, 6.07gm, S-2577. Exceptional portrait quality--the individual curls of the queen's hair, detail of her eye, and even the edges of her lips easily discernable, all the more remarkable for a clearly rusty obverse die. The reverse appears even better struck and less uneven, toned to a sandy pewter, the repair work to the right of the shield.
