The 'Bob' Coin - English One Shilling

** Introductory Offer: Just £5 – SAVE £10.00 **

** When you trial the collection **

Just like how you might have nicknames for your children or closest friends, there are several pre-decimal coins from across the globe which also go by special names.

And today, you can secure one of Britain’s favourite pre-decimal coins: the English Shilling, also known as the ‘Bob’ coin.

The ‘Bob’ - English Shilling Coin

First issued in 1801 under the reign of King George III, the Shilling came to adopt the nickname ‘Bob’.

Although it’s uncertain where this name came from, many believe that it is linked to the set of changes rung on church bells – also known as ‘Bob’. This seems a likely theory considering the word ‘Shilling’ is derived from the German word ‘skell’ – translated as ‘ring’.
