Shilling (Bob)

In the long reign of Queen Victoria there were three main designs used, we have selected the last two, the Jubilee Head and the Old or Widow Head coinage to offer you. Here we are offering the shilling with Jubilee head in Fine. We have at least two grades: Dates will be of our choice depending what we have in stock when the order comes in. But as always fair grading and priced to make them attractive.

In 1887 Queen Victoria celebrated her Golden Jubilee and for the first time in 50 years she allowed her portrait on the coinage to be changed. She hated the portrait on the Shilling so it was only made in 1887 and a few in 1888. We offer nice Fine examples of the Sterling Silver 1887 for your collection. Everyone thinks it is common but this design was only struck for two years and is an important type coin.

During the very long reign of Queen Victoria there were four different major designs of her bust used on the coinage. Here we present the Jubilee Head Shilling in Very Good Condition. Dates will be of our choice, but of course, the more you order, the more different dates we will try to provide.

Jubilee Head Shilling Very Good

There were two designs of Queen Victoria Jubilee Head shillings, neither of which Queen Victoria liked. The first was only issued in 1887 & 1888 and has a very small crown on her head, which made her look very big. The second type and the one we are offering you this issue is the Large Head Queen Victoria Jubilee Shilling. Issued from 1889-1892 the Mint enlarged her head to fill the whole side of the shilling, this gave a more pleasing portrait of the Queen. All the coins are struck in Sterling Silver and here we offer the Shilling Fine. Dates are of our choice but the more you order the more different dates we will try and give you.
