Jemmy’s coin ID

#1 Unread post by Hobub »

I’m going to guess my home work paid off on this but welcome any input. I watched “outlander” s5e5 with my wife the other night and saw a period coin. The show was taking place in 1770 N. Carolina.

After reading what I can on the coin and digging online using some deductive reasoning, I believe this is a 1720 Shilling. I like early American coins but am by no means an expert. And less on foreign coins but the internet helps.

This is clip where I took the screenshot. I posted my thoughts there. I doubt they care much. But this would have been a collectible coin in this shape in 1770 at 50 yrs old.

So I see I am not the only one who likes to zoom in and look at coins (I also do it for glass insulators!) in moves :)
