This Tudor-era United Kingdom shilling dates from 1551–1553, minted during Edward VI’s reign. It captures mid‑16th‑century English coinage, when familiar designs on circulating silver defined royal iconography of the era.
Obverse shows a crowned, facing bust of Edward VI, with a Tudor rose to the left and XII to the right; reverse bears the royal coat-of-arms over a long cross fourchée.
