This specimen was lot 73753 in Stack's Bowers Collector's Choice sale (Costa Mesa, CA, November 2023), where it sold for $360. The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, "[[Great Britain|GREAT BRITAIN]]. Commonwealth. Shilling, 1654. London Mint; mm: Sun. Oliver Cromwell (as Lord Protector). PCGS F-15. Despite some time in circulation, the present example retains good details and handsome appeal." By 1650, king Charles was dead and his son fled into exile but Cromwell was unable to bring unity to England. The gold coins of his rule ([[Great Britain 1654 unite Fr-269|unite]], [[Great Britain 1654 double crown Fr-270|double crown]] and crown) are all rare. The silver coinage is generally more available but often badly made. This type is listed with the sun mint mark for 1649-57 and with the anchor mint mark for 1658-60. [[Great Britain 1658 shilling|Portrait shillings]] also exist.

''Recorded mintage:'' unknown.

''Specification'': 6.02 g, 0.925 fine silver.

''Catalog reference:'' S-3217; KM-390.1; N-2724.
