Charles I, brass pattern shilling or medal, 1628 by Nicholas Briot, very rare
Charles I, brass pattern shilling or medal, 1628 by Nicholas Briot. This piece, which is usually found in silver, is sometimes considered a pattern for a shilling, beause the reverse design and legend is shared with the pattern halfgroat by Briot of the same period (two varieties: North 2684; Brooker 1254). VF, pitted with stable green deposit. Very rare, especially in this metal. M I I 250/27; SCBI Brooker 1260; North 2676.
