silver coin

Recommended Posts

It's either a sixpence or a shilling. They both had the same design, the easy way to tell them apart is by size - the sixpence is about the size of the current 1 jiao pieces, while the shilling is about the size of a 1 RMB.

Nice coin, it is a sixpence or 'tanner', the shilling was commonly called a 'bob'. I887 was Victoria's Golden Jubilee Year.

 

 

Anyone know the origin of the shilling being called a "bob".
