GREAT BRITAIN. Shilling, 1741. London Mint. George II. FINE.
S-3701; KM-561.4. An evenly worn and dark toned Shilling with a slight planchet flaw at the base of the obverse. The reverse bares an unattributed countermark in the form of a detailed fowl, perhaps a cock or male Ptarmigan (native to England), but for an unknown reason.
While we are unable to fully attribute this countermark we do note that we sold a 1662 Crown of Charles II in our February 2021 World Collectors Choice Online Auction with an identical countermark, but was applied to the obverse.
Estimate: $75.00-$125.00
