Shilling/Pound conversion?

In this article, a double sovereign is cited as having "a nominal value of two pound sterling or 50 shillings." In the shilling article (and practically everywhere else,) the coin is described as "a coin worth one twentieth of a pound sterling". I suspect there's an error here, but I don't know enough to say. --2620:15C:2C5:2:E9EE:276A:2CC5:E032 (talk) 20:33, 4 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

First Charles III coinage portrait

I cannot find in reference 44 that this was the first coinage portrait of Charles III. Is there an additional reference to verify this? Renerpho (talk) 14:43, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

By the way, the original url appears to be dead (it looks dead to me). Maybe the citation needs to be adjusted accordingly (adding deadurl=yes). Renerpho (talk) 14:45, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I can't seem to load the archive page. Usually the Royal Mint is pretty good about keeping pages even when the coins in question have gone off sale, but I don't see it and I guess it's gone. this would probably be any necessary supplementation. Wehwalt (talk) 16:13, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
