The King's Shilling refers to a practice during World War I (and earlier conflicts) where soldiers were given a shilling upon enlistment, symbolizing their commitment to serve the Crown. It served as a financial incentive and a formal acknowledgment of their new status as soldiers. The term also implies the notion of being "purchased" into military service, as accepting the coin could bind them to the duties of a soldier. This tradition highlights the historical relationship between military service and financial compensation.
