Anyone know what this is?

[GAB]

I bought this because of the date (and the price!)

Does anyone know what it is and where it is from?

1836 One Shilling from Great Britain (KM 713). One of 3,568,000 minted in .925 silver. Actual Silver Weight is 0.1682 oz.

 

Bust is King William 4th.

Thanks MTHead,

I don't know how many still exist, but I figured it was

worth what I paid for it (under $10) especially if it was indeed silver?

I have certainly NOT been able to find such prices for "comparable"

US coins from 1836!!

Interesting,perhaps it's just a modern token.

Yes, that is indeed a shilling, and it is indeed silver. It is also in good condition for the price you paid. It looks original, with nice color. I have been trying to get one of these on Ebay for some time, and have not been able to get a good one for the right price. I am trying to work on a type collection of shillings. In that condition, I wouldn't be surprised to see $15-$18 on Ebay. So, good purchase.
