George VI, 1947-51 English Type Shillings

The shillings of George VI presented here were issued with the English reverse type, and depict a crowned lion on top of a crown, with the legend above, and the denomination below. All struck between 1947-1951. 5 coins in total showing the change of legend that occurred in 1949 when the mint had to remove ‘IND IMP’ because the monarch was no longer Emperor of India. These were also the last Shillings struck in the reign of George VI as he died early in 1952.
