George III, Bank of England Issue, Three Shillings Bank Token 1811, Extremely Fine.

The Bank of England three shillings token was issued during the reign of King George III (1760–1820) to address a shortage of silver coinage. Minted between 1811 and 1816, these tokens were produced by the Bank of England as a temporary solution for commerce. They featured a portrait of George III on the obverse and a crowned denomination inscription on the reverse. Struck in silver, they circulated alongside other emergency coinage. As the economy stabilized and official coinage resumed, these tokens were withdrawn. These are impressive and historically significant three shilling pieces. Dated 1811 or 1812.
