| Zusätzliche Informationen |
Edward VI's fine silver shilling of 1551 was part of a deliberate recoinage ordered to repair the catastrophic damage done by Henry VIII's great debasement, which had reduced silver coinage to as little as 25% fineness by 1544. The .925 standard restored here was a political act as much as an economic one — Northumberland's regency government needed to stabilize trade and recover credibility with Continental merchants who had learned to distrust English coin by weight rather than face value.
The 1551 issue was the first English shilling to bear a dated legend, making it a landmark in the administrative history of the mint rather than just a metallurgical reset.
