The Lost Shilling
I’m not a big fan of antique, but some are great to have for the historical value or a historical character who owned that antique long time ago.
I was kind off attached to the English history and wanted to own something special, such as an old British pound, but I found something even better. I went to auction for an old shilling 1697. this Shilling was in a box in a ship that was sailing from England to the English Colony on North America, but the ship was drawn. On 1700′s they recovered the treasure box from the ship and my coin was one of them.
Coin comes with certificate
Charles II face on the coin
After I got the coin, I was received a very special gift from a special person. The gift was a model of the same ship type that sank with the coins on the 1700′s. That made my day
