[<k>]

Numista lists a 1950 King George VI pattern 4 shillings:

It shows no image but lists Benedetto Pistrucci as the designer of the reverse.


Here is a list of Pistrucci's old designs:

In my searches, all I found was this "model" 1937 Jersey 4 shillings:

I have never heard of that either. Presumably it is a fantasy.

Comments?

It is listed in KM, Numista gives the reference. The KM entry is:
PnA134 1950 — 4 Shilling. Copper-Nickel. — (no mintage, no price) without illustration.

The pattern is listed, and illustrated in Seaby and Rayner, The English silver coinage from 1694 (1974).

Thank you, Henk. That is very interesting. So Pistrucci's "George and the Dragon" was intended for a 4 shilling coin. Most unusual.
