Genuine Scottish shilling coin keychain with a faux suede tassel.
Historically, a shilling was given to new recruits when they enlisted into the British Army or Navy – this is where the phrase ‘to take the King’s shilling’ or ‘to take the Queens shilling’ originates from.
Cleaned, polished and hung from a 25mm strong split ring. The coin is approx 23mm in diameter (just under an inch) and hangs 55mm (2 1/4" )
The tassel is approx 40mm in length with an acrylic cap.
Please remember that this is a circulated coin and will show signs of age and wear making each coin totally unique, adding to its beauty and charm.
The coin is made of cupronickel.
