The sign for the British Shilling was an S if a sign was required.

£1/2/6 or £1/2/6d represented One Pound, Two Shillings and Sixpence. The Shilling value is between the Pound value and the Penny value, so it does not need a sign. The position of the 2 makes the value Two Shillings.

2/6d represented Two Shillings and Sixpence. The Shilling value precedes the Penny value, so it does not need a sign. The position of the 2 makes the value Two Shillings.

If the need arose to indicate an even Shilling value, it was written as 2/-, indicating Two Shillings and zero Pence or, 2S, indicating Two Shillings.

Where did the phrase - Taking the Kings Shilling - originate from?

Recruiting parties from the British Army would coerce men to join the various Regiments by offering them a shilling to sign up. This was often at the bottom of a glass of beer ! The rewards offered were rather different from what the recruit often found to be his experience. Nonetheless the Army was supplied with men on a regular basis to fight the kings enemies..... To Take the Shilling is to join the Army. To sign on. Shoulders back, chin up... Lovely boy, lovely boy ! (Windsor Davies in It ain't 'alf hot, Mum !)
