1860 shilling

What's going on here with the C in VICT then, do you think?

I can see the die flaw - could it have made such a mess of the letter, or is there a vertical in there somewhere?

Had me thinking over T, but where's the left serif of the T? Possible upside down G, that could be a logical mistake? Not helped by what appears to nasty old clog. Interesting one! :blink:

There's a big fat serif on the normal capital C, so I'm veering towards just a cud associated with that die flaw, and nothing interesting underneath. Better to be pessimistic with these I reckon... :)

I'm guessing cud, Declan.

Yes, I think possible cud also. See my 1821 sixpence obverse for reference:
