A silver shilling of George II (1727 to 1760), dating to 1758. Minted at the London Mint. C.f. Spink, 2011, p 401, no 3704. Coin has been pierced at 11 o'clock on the obverse. Diameter: 25.4 mm Thickness: 1.3 mm Weight: 5.8 g This coin is less than 300 years old, and although it has been pierced, there is no other evidence that it was removed from circulation to function as a pendant. As such, it falls outside of the requirements of the Treasure Act 1996 and should be considered to be Not Treasure.
