From 1937 to 1966, British Shillings were minted in each year with both an English reverse and a Scottish reverse.
From 1937 to 1951, the English reverse features a lion standing (rampant) on a crown.
From 1937 to 1951, the Scottish reverse features a forward facing lion seated on a crown holding a sword and sceptre.
All British Shillings from 1949 to 1951 are almost identical for each type.
Unfortunately, there is no image available for an English reverse from 1949 to 1951. The 1944 image is similar, but the "IND IMP" does not appear on the coin from 1949 to 1951 and the "FID DEF" is located on either side of the lions head.
See the links below for an image of each of the English and Scottish Shillings.
Good question, nobody has ever seen one.The last Australian Shilling was minted in 1963.The last British Shilling was minted in 1966.The last New Zealand Shilling was minted in 1965.
Have a closer look at your coin. Queen Victoria died in 1901. The last British Shilling was minted in 1966.
The British 1950 Halfpenny is just about identical to all other British Halfpennies minted from 1949 to 1952 inclusive. See the link below.
One Shilling coins were potentially minted by most of the British Empire/Commonwealth countries having their own currencies based on the British Imperial currency system in 1927. The 1927 Australian Shilling has the Australian Coat of Arms on the reverse. If you look at the teeny tiny printing in the scroll at the bottom of the Coat of Arms, you will see "ADVANCE AUSTRALIA". All Australian coins have "AUSTRALIA" on them somewhere. The 1927 British Shilling shows a lion rampant on a crown on the reverse. British coins are almost unique in the world by never having the country name on them.
Please be a little more specific. Depending on the country of issue and the year potentially dating back to 1550, a Shilling coin could be made from anything from gold to a copper-nickel alloy. Many of the 50 plus Commonwealth countries issued a Shilling coin at some point in time.
In 1912, British money primarily consisted of pounds, shillings, and pence, often referred to as the £sd system. One pound was divided into 20 shillings, and each shilling was further divided into 12 pence, making a pound equal to 240 pence. Coins included the penny (1d), threepence (3d), sixpence (6d), shilling (1s), and half-crown (2s 6d), among others. Banknotes were also in circulation, with denominations such as £1, £5, and £10 being common.
ALL British coins have that inscription so it really doesn't help to ID a coin. Please look for the coin's denomination and post a new question. Old British coins have strange values so you may see words like shilling, florin, farthing, etc.
