The Elizabethan Shilling Trio

The Elizabethan Shilling Trio spans nearly 400 years, charting the story of this remarkable coin from its Tudor origins to its final days under Elizabeth II.

The Elizabeth I shilling is one of the defining coins of the Tudor period. It was among the very first English issues to carry a realistic portrait of the monarch, a practice that transformed coinage from a symbol of authority into a medium of identity and recognition.

This coin brought the likeness of the Queen to her people - from merchants in London to farmers in the shires - giving England’s subjects a direct connection to their ruler.

This remarkable piece is now perfectly accompanied by the final examples of its kind - from 1966, featuring the only other Elizabeth to sit on the throne. 

Why Collectors Prize This Trio:

• Nearly 400 Years of History: Each example has survived centuries of circulation, wars, and reforms.
• Scarcity: Well-preserved Elizabethan Shillings are becoming increasingly difficult to source, with demand from both UK and international collectors.
• Direct Line to Tudor England: Holding one is to own a tangible artefact of the Elizabethan Age, a period that shaped modern Britain.
• Tells the Whole Story: Encapsulates the remarkable story of the shilling in one complete set.
