A few shillings by various processes, from hammered through to modern milled.
A Charles I E5/2 with mm. Tun (1636-8)
A York Civil War shilling.
A Cromwell shilling
A 1925 second coinage shilling struck in 0.500 silver
And an iffy one. A contemporary counterfeit struck in the Birmingham/Stafffordshire area in the 1820s. The copper core can just be seen in the centre of the reverse.
Spanish silver, and Vigo!
