    The 1892 shilling does have the larger head - that was changed in 1889, so the obverse may be correct. The reverse shown has obviously come from another piece. I have made that kind of editing mistake before.

    That said, the piece holds little to recommend it.

    Here's an example of an 1892 for reference:

    I question what you would receive.

    Title states 1892, auction text states 1887. Obverse of 1892 style, reverse shown is 1887.

    Some explaining by the seller is required.

    Maybe it's a mule.
    Wouldn't that be interesting?
