Best Answer

Shilling is bigger than tuppence because 6 tuppence is the same as 1 shilling which means that in the Victorian era people would have likely been paid 24 tuppence which is 4 shillings exactly so if you are greg the gardener workng at upton manor you should be paid exactly 4 shilling and Sandra maids should be paid 4 as well
