VIRGINIA NAMED AFTER QUEEN
ELIZABETH  The
state of Virginia was named after England's Queen Elizabeth I. In the
early 1600's, all of North America that was not Spanish or French was
then called "Virginia" in honor of "The Virgin
Queen," and the earliest English colonial expeditions were sent
by the Virginia Company of London. We offer five nice shillings of
Queen Elizabeth minted during her reign. Similar specimens have been
found in early English settlements and are typical of the early
coinage of the colonies. All coins are hammer struck resulting usually
in some soft strikes.
