| Browse our range of certified and graded British Shilling coins, one of the most important and widely collected denominations in pre-decimal UK coinage. Struck by The Royal Mint from the medieval period through to decimalisation in 1971, the shilling remained a core part of everyday British currency for centuries and is a key series for any serious UK silver collection.
The collection includes historic silver shillings from Queen Victoria, Edward VII, George V, George VI, and early Queen Elizabeth II issues. Early examples were struck in sterling silver (.925), with later circulating issues in .500 silver before silver was phased out of circulation. Designs include a wide variety of royal portraits and classic reverses such as crowned shields and national emblems, reflecting over a century of British coinage history.
All coins in this category are professionally authenticated and graded by leading third-party services including PCGS and NGC. The range includes circulated, uncirculated, and select proof or high-grade examples, with many coins valued for key dates, monarch variety, and condition rarity across different reigns.
Certified and graded British Shilling coins
remain a cornerstone of pre-decimal collecting, combining long minting history, strong historical significance, and independently verified condition, making them highly desirable for both collectors and advanced numismatic portfolios.
