yes zues had a shield
Athena put the head of Medusa on her shield.
Her shield was gold and had the face of Medusa the Gorgon.
When Perseus gave Athena Medusa's head, she put it on her shield.
Athena's shield, Aegis, bares the head of Medusa, one of the three Gorgons.
The only 1800 George III coins produced by the Royal mint with a shield on the reverse were the gold Half-Guinea coins. Due to Britains ongoing expenses with various wars in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, there were very few silver or copper coins minted, subsequently there were a great many privately minted tokens and counterfeit coins produced. To get an estimate of value on a privately minted token, you need to provide the details of the inscription on the token.
Your coin could be a gold Guinea (with a crowned shield) or Half-Guinea (with a crowned "spade" shaped shield) or a copper Halfpenny or Farthing (with a seated Britannia), the only four British George III coins minted by the Royal Mint in 1773. Most coins minted during this period had the reverse upside down to the obverse and had no denomination on them. Can you provide more information?
All Farthings from this period are made from copper. The 1825 Farthing obverse has a left facing George IV with the Latin inscription "GEORGIUS IIII" and "DEI GRATIA". The reverse has a right facing seated Britannia holding a trident with her left hand and a shield with her right hand beneath her. The date is below Britannia and the Latin inscription "BRITANNIAR REX FID DEF" is around the circumference. See the link below for an image.
There were 9 different George II Two Guinea coins issued from 1733 to 1753 inclusive. Please provide a year. The year will be at the top on the reverse and split either side of the Crown on the Shield.
If the coin has the image of the seated figure of Britannia holding a shield and trident on the reverse, and no country name on it, it will be a British Penny minted at the Royal Mint London.
The reverse of the new British Penny shows part of a composite design depicting the Royal Shield which is able to be seen when one of each British denomination coin is positioned correctly.
The obverse (front) of an Indian Head cent has the date, legend and bust. The reverse has the shield, wreath and denomination of one cent.

Apart from George III, the only person depicted on British 1797 coins is Britannia, the female personification of Britain. She is usually shown as being seated and holding a trident and shield. In 1797 she is on the reverse of the "Cartwheel" Twopence and the "Cartwheel" Penny.
No authentic CSA half dollars bear the shield on the reverse and obverse of the coin.
In 2008, all British circulating coins had a redesigned reverse. When one of each of the six "Pence" coins is arranged correctly, the composite design shows the Royal Shield. That part of the shield visible on the Penny coin shows the bottom left part of the shield representing England, and the top left part of the shield representing Northern Ireland.
