Jersey 1/26 and 1/13 Shilling 1841 to 1871

Wow! Look at this neat coin in the picture. It is an old 1/26 shilling from the Baliwick of Jersey located in the English channel 19 km west of Normandy, France. Over the years it has acquired a spiffy blue toning. To me, that makes it look great. But most collector shun toned coins, and that's all the better for me!
