    Long ago the people had half sovereigns, sovereigns, five shillings piece, four shilling piece,four penny bits, and the farthing. But now most of these are rarely seen. A little boy named Arthur Hodgins had a four shilling piece to day. it was made in the year 1889 and there was a cross on one side and on the other side Queen Victoria.
