The same as it does now.
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.
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.
Take away almost all of the buildings, roads and trash, add several hundred thousand trees and a couple of extinct animal species and there you have it! The Maine Territory of 1770!
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.
a hole in the ground
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.
