Questions & Comments

ok, after some research at google, I see that this, in fact, is the English version of it....very nice coin you have here!

I believe the image shows the English crest.
The Scottish crest has the lion sitting on his back legs holding the sword and scepter up in the air, like the description states.

I stand corrected....good catch...Unfortunately, Listia will not let you correct errors...but I was able to add a note. Here is the updated description:
The issues of George VI and Elizabeth II are unusual in that two different designs were issued each year (except 1952), an English and a Scottish version. They were not distributed solely in the relevant countries, but circulated equally alongside each other.

The English shilling of George VI has the lion standing left on a large crown, while on the Scottish shilling the lion is facing, holding a sword & sceptre flanked by St Andrews Cross and a thistle.
