Charles II (1660-85), silver Shilling, third hammered issue (1661-62), crowned bust left, value XII in field behind, legend and toothed borders surrounding both sides, initial mark crown both sides, no stops either side of mint mark on obverse, CAROLVS. II. D: G: MAG: BR: FR: ET. HI: REX, rev. long cross fourchée over quartered shield of arms, .CHRISTO. AVSPICE. REGNO., IC of middle word struck over CE, weight 6.05g (cf.Bull 315 R; cf.ESC 1021; N.2764; S.3322). Toned, some digs on obverse, otherwise very fine, interesting over-punching error on reverse in AVSPICE, the C and E clearly visible below the I and C even making the word resemble "AVSPIEE," this also coupled with the lack of stops at obverse mint mark with this reading unrecorded.

Provenance:
Ex William Harber Collection, Morton and Eden, Auction 42, 20th May 2010, lot 147.
