The now redundant British Shilling, and the redundant Shillings of most other Commonwealth countries, was abbreviated to an "S", sometimes upper case, but usually lower case.

A value of Two Shillings may have written on the price tag as "2s" or "2/-", or if there were Pennies involved "2/6" or "2/6d", the "d" being the traditional abbreviation for Denari, the ancient Roman coin from where the practice originated.
