Best Answer

British Shillings have ONE SHILLING inscribed on the reverse of the coin from late 1887 onwards.

British Shillings minted from early 1887 back into history, do not have any indication as to the face value of the coin. You would need to be able to recognise the coin from its size and appearance.

Shillings minted in the 17th century during the time of James I and Charles I had the Roman numerals XII on them, indicating 12 Pence (One Shilling).
