I know it’s not what you’ll find often
so I thought I’d post it.
Angie found this Victorian Florin 1848
in a field at first she thought it
was silver paper but luckily she kept it
In the field there had been stationed
the Royal Scots regiment around the tern of the century.
How it came to be burnt who knows?
This is what it should have looked like
King George V, Shilling
This group all date from 1930s to 50s
most came from parkland the cut sixpences was run over by the lawnmower.
We have found a lot of cut coins on parkland
These coins all came from the same Field.
a Elisabeth 2nd Two shilling bit or two bob and a sixpence or “tanner” ,
they all have a reddish tint because they have a low Silver content.
The other coin is a George VI 1945 brass Threepenny bit or “joey”
'two bob'or 'one bob'any shiling could have bob after it = Before 1971 bob was one of the most commonly used English
slang words. Origin un known. It dates back to the late 1700's.
tanner = sixpence (6d). The slang word 'tanner' meaning sixpence dates
from the early 1800's and is derived most probably from Romany gypsy 'tawno'
Joey slang word seems reasonably certainly to have been named
after the politician Joseph Hume (1777-1855),
These three silver shillings all came from one hole. There must have been a army rest point or tea area in this small field as we found a lot of WW1 artefacts
I wonder if maybe a young soldier sat down to rest with his chums and the silver coins fell from his pocket into the mud. Did his old Mother save them up and as he kissed here goodby she sliped them into his pockek as he left home. Who knows, did he return or maybe like the coins he too was lost in the mud in France..
