1970 Proof Scottish Shilling Coin in Capsule

Add a vital piece of British currency history to your numismatic collection with the 1970 Proof Scottish Shilling. Struck exclusively by the Royal Mint for the historic 1970 Proof Set, this rare 1970 shilling coin was never released into general public pockets. It represents the historic final year of the traditional pre-decimal shilling before the United Kingdom fully transitioned to decimalisation in 1971.

This particular variant showcases the beautifully detailed Scottish Shield design on the reverse, setting it apart from its English counterpart. Featuring an exquisite proof finish with deep, mirrored fields and sharp frosted devices, this coin is a prize for collectors focusing on Scottish heritage, Queen Elizabeth II era coinage, or final-year currency sets
