A silver shilling, happy and excited to go out into the world, passed from hand to hand; from a child to a miser, from old people to young people; each using it for a time before letting it go. Eventually, it came into the possession of a gentleman who was travelling to foreign lands, unaware of the shilling’s presence in his purse. For him, it became a symbol of his home country, and so he never spent it. But when the shilling, driven by curiosity, tried to take a little peep into the world, what would happen? Would the silver shilling be valued by all, or would its curiosity bring punishment? Read this fascinating tale to discover how the shilling’s journey led it through misunderstanding and rejection, until it finally returned home to be recognized as true and genuine once more.
