Definición

• This coin occurs as a money of account in the Anglo-Saxon laws, but it was first struck in 1504, as part of the third coinage of Henry VII. Its weight was twelve Pennies, or one hundred and forty- four grains.

  A variety with the legend HENKIC? SEPTIM? DI? GRA . REX . ANGL? Z. FRA?, is commonly known as the Septim Shilling and is very rare.

  In the English Colonies the Shilling circulating in Cyprus was replaced in 1901 by the piece of nine Piastres. See Schilling, Testoon.

  The coinage of Scotland contains a large number of the multiples of this coin, there being two, three, four, five, six, eight, ten, twelve, sixteen, twenty, twenty-two, thirty, forty, forty-four, forty-eight, and sixty Shilling pieces.
