From 1817 until 1919, all British silver coins had a fineness of .925; i.e. 92.5% silver or sterling silver.

In 1920 the silver content was reduced to 50%.

In 1947, what were silver coins, were subsequently made from a copper/nickel alloy - no silver at all.

No circulating British coin has contained any silver since 1946.
