Title: Re: i.d please Post by: The Doc on July 08, 2009, 11:22:02 PM The mintmark is above the middle of the crown on the one side Steve and the shield on the other, looks like it may be a rose , if it is it is 1620/21 I think this shilling is the second coinage, 1605-6, when the rose was also used.
