I'm currently at work and some guy just paid with this and some other common change for a fountain soda. Anyone know if Its of any value other than Silver content? Which I THINK is 50% from the little bit of research I did online.

No idea what it's worth, but I like it!

It's a shilling from New Zealand. Should be silver so you did good!

50% silver. Silver value $1.80

Krause book lists it at $5 in F and $40 in VF, eBay listings would indicate that the value is much closer to the $5 mark.
