British predecimal one shilling coin
The Royal Mint issued British Pound coins in 16 different denominations, including this British predecimal one shilling coin. They are part of the predecimal and withdrawn Pound Sterling coins series. The Royal Mint started issuing these 0.05 British Pound coins in 1816. They were withdrawn from circulation in 1970.
The British one shilling predecimal coin has the same value as a modern 5p coin. It is the equivalent of 1/20 of a Pound Sterling. The 1 shilling coin was often referred to as a ‘bob’. The notation of a one shilling was ‘1/-‘. The design of the cupronickel one shilling coin features the Coat of Arms of England and a portrait of the Monarch (King George VI or Queen Elizabeth II).
