This specimen was lot 40341 in Stack's Bowers NYINC sale (New York, January 2019), where it sold for $1,920. The catalog description[1] noted, "GREAT BRITAIN. 3 Shilling Bank Token, 1811. PCGS PROOF-64 CAMEO Gold Shield. Issued by the Bank of England. Highly elusive as a Proof, and showcasing tremendous eye appeal for the issue, with bold frost on the central designs, refined mirror-like reflectivity in the fields and alluring russet and mauve toning accents on both sides that add significant character to the overall appearance. Extremely collectible as the only example of this date to thus far earn the coveted "Cameo" designation at PCGS." The first type of three shilling token (KM Tn4) was struck 1811-12; the second type (KM Tn5) was struck 1812-16.

Recorded mintage: unknown.
