The 1723 Sixpence SSC - George I

In 1722 the South Seas Company discovered silver during their travels. The silver was shipped back and in 1723 Crowns, Half Crowns, Shillings and Sixpences were minted using that silver and marked with "SSC".

Later on the South Seas Company (a British joint-stock company) became involved in a famous financial scandal relating to inflating their stock price which became known as the South Sea Bubble.

There is a variant with large lettering, adds just a little to the price. SCBC: 3652.

The Reverse shows crowned cruciform shields, Garter star at centre, Legend around with date at top and "SS C" in the quarters.

The Obverse shows a portrait of King George I.
