Owner Comments:
The first silver coin in England to be called the shilling was issued in the reign of Edward Vi in 1551. This was a continuation of the testoon issued during the reign of his father, Henry VIII. The shilling remained in use continually in England (and later the United Kingdom) until decimalisation in 1971.
