Shilling (English coin)
The English shilling was a silver coin of the Kingdom of England, when first introduced known as the testoon. It remained in circulation until it became the British shilling as the result of the Union of England and Scotland to form the Kingdom of Great Britain in 1707.
There were twenty shillings to the pound sterling and twelve pence to the shilling, and thus 240 pence to the pound.
==Name==
The word ''shilling'' originates in the ''schilling'' (mean division ), an accounting term dating back to Anglo-Saxon times, to mean a 20th of a pound, although there was no specific coin of that value. The abbreviation ''s'' probably referred to the Norse (then English, German,etc.) name, and not to Latin solidus. The latins may have used a similar scheme, but the naming is mere coincidence.
