The 1811 Three Shilling coin of George III

A Silver Three Shilling coin of George III. This is the first type, SCBC 3769. Diameter 35mm and weighs 15g. The coin was a Bank of England Issue Bank Token, issued when the Royal Mint had suspended mintage of crown coins during the Napoleonic wars.

Three shillings coins were minted 1811-1816 (type 1 between 1811-12 and type 2 1812-1816). While unusual they are not that rare and prices can start from under £100, although most are in the £200-300+ range depending on condition.

The Obverse, shows the draped and laureated head of King George III wearing armour. Legend 'GEORGIVS III DEI GRATIA REX'.

The Reverse shows a wreath enclosing the words 'BANK TOKEN THREE SHILL. 1811'.

The 1811 coins were also issued as proof and are considerably more expensive.
