GREAT BRITAIN. Shilling, 1554. London Mint. Philip & Mary. NGC EF-45.
S-2500; N-1967. A rather attractively struck example of this iconic Tudor issue with lovely green, blue and apricot tone around the outer edges. Offering quality seldom seen for the type, this piece is tied with two others for the finest graded by NGC with no comparable coins graded by PCGS.
Mary was Henry VIII's elder daughter who was succeeded by her younger half-sister, Elizabeth in 1558.
Estimate: $3000.00- $4000.00
