To fill this need, the Bank of England issued silver tokens in the denominations of 5 shillings, 3 shillings, and 1 1/2 shillings (18 pence) to help fill the gap. Private silver tokens also circulated. ccg 1812 1 Shilling 6 Pence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Art Posted September 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 Token -- very interesting history there. The half is beautiful as well but the 1 shilling 6 pence denomination makes it even more unusual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
