George VI 1936 - 1952

In 1946 for the last time ever the Royal Mint struck coins for everyday usage in Silver. Here we offer the Scottish Shilling. It has taken a little while but we have finally enough of these last ever silver coins to offer to our collectors. All coins are struck in 500 fine Silver by the Royal Mint and are the last silver coins ever to be struck for circulation. All 1946 coins are in selected circulated condition.

We have just bought a nice group of high-grade King George VI Silver Shillings. These are the last Silver Shillings ever to be made for circulation. They were made between 1937 and 1946 and there are two reverses, one for England and one for Scotland. The Scottish issue (presented here) was made to honour the King’s wife, Elizabeth Bowes Lyon. The coins are in Extremely Fine or better condition, but as we bought them as a lot, we are going to sell them unchecked. Dates will be as they come out of the bag, but the quality will always be high and they are the last type of Shilling ever to be made in silver for general usage.

During the reign of King George VI they issued both silver coins and coins that did not contain silver. We have picked the Shilling because it was during his reign that two different types of shillings were issued, both in silver and cupro-nickel. Here we offer one of each with the English reverse.
