Great Britain. 'Northumberland' Shilling, 1763. S.3742; ESC-1214; KM-597. George III, 1760-1820. Obverse: Draped laureate bust of King right GEORGIVS DEI GRATIA.

*This coin was distributed by Hugh, Earl of Northumberland, upon his installation in Dublin as Viceroy of Ireland. Only £150 worth of pieces were made in total, a very low quantity bearing in mind the fact that these were the only shillings issued for circulation between the years of 1758 and 1787.
Estimated Value $1,800 - 2,000.
