The Shilling is a historic British coin. The word Shilling comes from an accounting term that dates back to Anglo-Saxon times; it was deemed to be the value of a cow in Kent or a sheep elsewhere.
There were 12 Pence to the Shilling with 20 Shillings to the Pound and the earliest Shillings were the Testoons of Henry 8th. As a milled coin they were struck from 1663 until 1970 and classically the Shilling was a standard wage for a day’s labour.
