Victorian silver Shilling, dated 1859 and graded by the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation. Obverse shows the second type A3 ‘Young Head’ of Queen Victoria, facing left, her hair bound back with two plain bands. The artist behind the original portrait was William Wyon though his initials are not present. The legend around reads: 'VICTORIA DEI GRATIA BRITANNIAR: REG: F: D:'. The reverse has the words ‘ONE SHILLING’ in the centre, surrounded by branches of oak and laurel leaves, tied at the bottom. A crown appears above and the date below: 1859.
