About 1651 was the start- it officially stopped in 1879. However, the term "To take the Queen's shilling" is still unofficially used today (including in the US) for enlisting in the military service. "If you take the Queen's shilling, and eat the Queen's biscuit, be prepared to do the Queen's work."
