Comments

Standardowa waga tych monet wynosiła 10/11 uncji trojańskich (436,4 ziaren); skład stopu - Ag 50%, Cu 40%, Ni 5%, Zn 5%.

Moneta ta nie została uwzględniona w przepisach dotyczących demonetyzacji, gdy w 1971 r. wprowadzono decymalizację. Mennica Królewska potwierdziła, że moneta pozostaje prawnym środkiem płatniczym, ponieważ została zdemonetyzowana z wartością 25 pensów.
