No British circulating coin has contained any silver since 1946. From 1919/1920 to 1946, all British silver coins contained 50% silver. Prior to 1919/1920, all British silver coins were made from sterling silver or, 92.5% silver.
You can check if your coins are real silver by looking for specific markings such as "STERLING," "SILVER," or "AG" (the chemical symbol for silver). You can also perform tests like a magnet test (silver is not magnetic) or using a silver testing kit to determine the authenticity of the coins. Additionally, seeking a professional appraisal or consulting a reputable coin dealer can help authenticate your silver coins.
