sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 09/14/2010 10:26 pm It is not a two schillings. Schillings are Austrian; it a British Florin or two shillings, in copper nickel, and they are common. They are exactly of the same specifications as the Aussie 20 cent piece, and the local vending machines will take them very nicely, thank you very much! Report this Post to the Staff

timsumrall Pillar of the Community United States 1256 Posts	Posted 09/21/2010 4:06 pm Old name: Florin. Anyone know when they started calling them 2 shillings? Start of George VI or were there 1 Florin's under George VI? Back on topic: 50% Silver stopped in 1946. I'm missing mintage amounts on these. Any reference's on line. Sadly, I don't have enough to warrant the book. Report this Post to the Staff

argentumandcoins Valued Member United Kingdom 60 Posts	Posted 09/22/2010 4:55 pm The name changed from florin to 2 shillings in 1937, firstly on the ultra rare Edward VIII coinage and was then continued onto George VI's coinage. English Silver Coinage has the mintage in 1957 at 33,071,282 Report this Post to the Staff
