1 Shilling - NE

Beschrijving voorzijde	Plain, largely uniface field of hammered silver with an irregularly shaped flan characteristic of primitive colonial coinage. Toward the upper portion of the obverse, the incuse legend MASATHVSETS IN NE is stamped, though on many specimens the peripheral lettering is weakly struck or partially off the flan. The design is entirely typographic in nature, devoid of portraiture or figurative imagery, reflecting the austere Puritan aesthetic of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. The letters NE, denoting New England, are the most prominent identifying feature, punched into the silver planchet using simple hand stamps. The broad, unadorned field bears characteristic flow lines, die-polish marks, and surface irregularities consistent with hammered silver coinage of the mid-seventeenth century.
