The 1812 Three Shilling coin of George IIIA Silver Three Shilling coin of George III. This is the second type, SCBC 3770. Diameter 34mm and weighs 14.7g. 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. Beware that some forgeries exist, especially for the rarer and expensive 1816 coin.
The Obverse, by Lewis Pingo, shows the Laureated head of King George III (often called the 'bare head' as not wearing a crown) facing right. Legend 'GEORGIVS III DEI GRATIA REX'.
The Reverse shows a wreath enclosing the words 'BANK TOKEN THREE SHILL. 1812'.The 1812 coins was also issued as proof, gold proof and platinum proof. The gold and platinum coins are extremely rare.
