Elizabeth I, Silver Shilling, Escallop, 1584-6

Although this has a weak strike or portrait is worn, the legend is unusual as it reads ELIZB instead of ELIZAB! 

The reverse is better. Overall, a well centred and nicely shaped coin.

31mm, 5.6g

 £60

Elizabeth I, Shilling, Escallop, 1584-6

Here the legend is the usual ELIZAB. Scratches to obverse, nice reverse.

Good reverse and well-centred coin.

Elizabeth I, Shilling, Martlet, 1560-61

Here we have the normal legend of ELIZABETH and second issue, martlet mint mark. Rather scratched (? contemporary vandalism) but still a lovely coin.
