Two Blue or Too Blue

These two Shillings are from my 1937 specimen (proof set), they have turned a pretty dark blue almost gunmetal blue.

Though it does not bother me some may not like it. I got the whole set a few years ago, of all the silver these turned the most.

It was with the George VI that the two unique shilling designs were introduced, the reverses were designed by George Kruger Gray
(1880-1943)
