With respect to British Coins, "QV" refers to Queen Victoria.

"First Head" refers to the first of the various images of Queen Victoria that appeared on coins over her 64 year reign.

"WW" is the initials of the designer (William Wyon) of the image of Queen Victoria used on the coin.

"Trun" (truncation) refers to that part of the image where the neck would join the body.

"WW on trun" means that the designers initials appear on the truncation of the neck.

You would possibly need a magnifying glass to see this tiny mark.

What is meant by the word trun when talking about old coins?

"trun" is an abbreviation of "truncation". It usually refers to the bust of whoever appears on the coin, and specifically, the point at which the neck ends (or where it appears to have been cut off). In many British Commonwealth coins, the designers initials appear on the trun(cation).


What is the value of an 1837 British Shilling?

There are several variants of this coin which I cannot describe adequately here. A British 1839 sterling silver Shilling (QV)(First head - WW on trun), uncirculated and in absolute mint condition could fetch up to £600 GBP. If it has been circulated but still in good condition, it might fetch anything from £35 to £300 GBP. A British 1839 sterling silver Shilling (QV)(First head - WW on trun) (Proof FDC), uncirculated and in absolute mint condition could fetch up to £1,250 GBP. A British 1839 sterling silver Shilling (QV)(Second head - WW on trun) (Proof FDC), uncirculated and in absolute mint condition could fetch up to £600 GBP. A British 1839 sterling silver Shilling (QV)(Second head - no initials on trun), uncirculated and in absolute mint condition could fetch up to £350 GBP. If it has been circulated but still in good condition, it might fetch up to £20 to £175 GBP. A British 1839 sterling silver Shilling (QV)(Second head - no initials on trun) (Proof plain edge FDC), uncirculated and in absolute mint condition could fetch up to £575 GBP. A British 1839 sterling silver Shilling (QV)(Second head - no initials on trun) (Proof milled edge FDC), is classified as "extremely rare". The values quoted are the best possible for the best specimens in their grades, but may be significantly lower due to varying demand for the coin and the prevailing economic climate. A reputable coin dealer will be able to give a more accurate valuation based on inspection of the coin.
