Description
Lord Baltimore Shilling
W-1080, Uncirculated Details
Rare Early Silver Colonial Type
(1659) SHILNG Lord Baltimore Shilling -- Cleaned -- PCGS
Genuine. Unc. Details. Hodder 1-A, W-1080, R.6. At the age of
26, Cecil Calvert inherited from his late father the title of
"First Lord Proprietary, Earl Palatine of the Provinces of Maryland
and Avalon in America." Calvert never visited Maryland, but funded
settlement expeditions to protect his colony from the Virginia
Company. In 1659, Calvert had four denominations of coins, from
penny to shilling, struck in London for circulation in Maryland.
All varieties are rare today. W-1080 is the sole collectible
shilling variety. This is a pleasing example with light
golden-brown and powder-blue patina. The strike is bold save for
softness near 4:30 on the obverse, and opposite at 1:30 on the
reverse. The obverse border has a slender mark at 3:30. Listed on
page 42 of the 2021 Guide Book.
