The Michael Gietzelt Collection of British and Irish Coins (1625-1660)
Charles I (1625-1649), Tower mint, Shilling, a trial striking of puncheons (without legends), in silver, Gp G, type 4.4, Briot bust with stellate lace collar, rev. shield, 4.94g/5h (cf. Sharp G1/2; cf. SCBI Brooker 1268). Bluntly struck on a lozenge-shaped flan, very fine and superior to the Brooker specimen, excessively rare £600-£800

Provenance: Glendining Auction, 6 November 1985, lot 73; J.R. Hulett Collection, Part XX, DNW Auction 185, 1-2 December 2020, lot 39 [from Baldwin November 1990].
Judging by the colour and patination of this piece, the fineness of the silver used appears to be somewhat below the usual sterling standard for the coinage of the time
