No it wasn't, all the Weekly primal quest rewards are still ingame and the shields from that are the Onion Shield (PLD) and the Ancient Buckler (BLM). A WHM shield was never added for that, the reason remains to be unknown, both the WHM and the BLM weapon that could be obtained via the weekly were 2H...

The i90 ancient shield was a leftover data for an item which was supposed to drop in coil, but they dropped the idea and removed the data clutter in the 2.1 with so many other items that never were introduced
