'A Christmas Carol' was first published in 1843. Shillings were used from Henry VII's reign in 1485 until 1971, so they would have been used. The Victoria sixpence (the sixpence featuring the young Queen Victoria's head) was used 1838 to 1887. Hope this helps.
No, L.S. Lowry was not Victorian. He was born in 1887 and lived during the late 19th and 20th centuries, which is beyond the Victorian era (1837-1901). He is known for his industrial landscapes and scenes of working-class life in England.
If it says "honi soit qui mal y pense" it is a British coin. If it is an 1887 coin, it will be a sterling silver Halfcrown, Shilling or Sixpence with the words in a garter surrounding a Crowned shield. The obverse will depict the Jubilee bust of Queen Victoria wearing a crown. The Halfcrown will be 32 mm in diameter. The Shilling will be 23.5 mm in diameter. The Sixpence will be 19 mm in diameter. There were no Victorian gold coins issued with that inscription. The only gold coins within 100 years of 1887 to have that inscription would have been George III Guineas, Half-Guineas and the earliest issue of Sovereigns from 1817 to 1820.

The absolute lowest mintage for any year and mint mark is 1853-O. Only 3 are known. The lowest overall mintages for a given year would be combined production for 1796 and 1797, when a total of 3918 halves were struck. Mint records don't break the figures by year, though. Other low-mintage years include 1882 and 1884-1887, with 5000 or fewer coins struck each year.
Victorian coins from the period 1887 to 1893 are near identical for each denomination. What you need is to be able to identify and describe the coin in a manner that distinguishes it from other similar coins. Gold coins Five Pound (Quintuple Sovereign) - St. George and the dragon on reverse - issued in 1887 only. Two Pound (Double Sovereign) - St. George and the dragon on reverse - 28.4 mm in diameter - issued in 1887 only. Sovereign - St. George and the dragon on reverse - 22.05 mm in diameter. Some earlier 1887 Sovereigns may depict a Crowned shield reverse. Half-Sovereign - Crowned shield on reverse - 19.3 mm in diameter. Silver coins Crown - St. George and the dragon on reverse - 38.6 mm in diameter. Double Florin (Four Shillings) - Cruciform shields and sceptres on reverse - 36 mm in diameter.

No, Victorian women did not wear fascinators. They wore bonnets or elaborate hats, depending on the particular period (early or late Victorian age).Please see the picture linked below for an illustration of the evolution of Victorian fashion: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/29/1794-1887-Fashion-overview-Alfred-Roller.GIF
Mintage figures from this period were not very meticulous. Only a total number of coins including both the "Shield" and "St. George" varieties is known. The combined mintage of both types from the Melbourne Mint is 3,052,000 coins. This seems to be the case for all Sovereign coins minted at the Melbourne and Sydney Mints until 1887(?).

No, not any longer. The last British coins minted in coin rotation were the Victorian silver coins of 1887. Notably, the 1887 Halfcrown, Florin, Shilling, Sixpence, Threepence and the Maundy coins. Prior to that, British coins were first regularly struck in rotation from about 1660. Referring only to British coins, "coin rotation" or "die axis" is the striking of a coin so that the obverse and reverse are 180 degrees out of alignment. This was once a good way to determine if the coin was genuine since forgers rarely bothered with coin rotation, or only got it partly right, rotating the coin at something other than 180 degrees. These days, forgers are a little more careful.
