* The price of silver was high in the mid-18th century and
although King George III ascended the throne in 1760, it was
not until 1787 that the mint struck shillings bearing his portrait,
in volume. The one exception was this 'Northumberland Shil-
ling'a very small/rare issue undertaken by the Duke of Northum-
berland (Sir Hugh Percy) to celebrate his appointment as Lord
Lieutenant of Ireland. Sir Hugh was one of the King's confiden-
tial advisers.
