Well, honey, back in the Victorian times, 2 shillings was considered a decent amount of money. It could buy you a nice meal or a few pints at the pub. But let's be real, it wasn't exactly a fortune. Just enough to keep you out of the poorhouse for a day or two.

All I know is that King Henry VIII made outrageous taxes. so there is no doubt that he would demand at least 60 shillings or more?
