Nice coin, well found. Any idea why we call a shilling a "Bob"? Ten Bob note! Can you lend us a couple of Bob!

Not a clue but I thought perhaps the term "Bob" originated with Victoria's hair style. Bun = Bob???

No apparently (according to Google) it was first documented in the 18th century but no one actually knows where either term originally comes from Undecided

Hmmm, and the old three penny bit was sometimes called a "Joey".

Ahh now I can help you with that one lol The real Joey was the fourpence (groat) introduced in 1836, the coin had gone out of circulation in 1800 but was reminted after pressure from an MP named Joseph Hume and so the coin took his name "Joey" unfortunately it became very confusing as it was the same basic size as the threepence of the time and was finally withdrawn in 1855 but somehow the name joey was transferred to the threepence Wink
