Great Britain
Commonwealth Shilling 1660 XF45 NGC, Tower mint, Anchor mm, KM390.2, S-3218, ESC-170 (R3) (prev. ESC-1001), N-2725. 5.79gm. A decidedly rare date as the final year of striking for these instantly recognizable Commonwealth issues, one rarely encountered in such a fine state of preservation where most located in recent decades have been shown to be quite crude and hastily made. The piece at hand remains exemplary, boasting uniform argent surfaces hosting a light amber peripheral tone. To date, of the few seen by third-party grading services, none have certified finer.
