_Shillings and Sixpences of George III._ (Vol. iii., p. 275.).--R. W. C.
has fallen into a misconception in supposing that these coins present an
erroneous spelling of the Latinized style of the monarch, whilst the
contemporary crowns and half-crowns have the correct orthography. The
spelling of the legend on the sixpences and shillings was intentional, and
with a meaning, being inscribed in an abridged form--GEOR: III. D: G:
BRITT: REX F: D:--the reduplication of the T was designed, after classical
precedent, to represent the plural _Britanniarum_, i.e., Great Britain and
Ireland.
