“Merry be you enjoying fine ale, but beware, in the darkness at the base of your tankard may be lying a shilling of the Monarch. Too late, and you feel the hand of the Sergeant’s men on your shoulder - accepted the Monarch’s Shilling you have - the bargain concluded!”
The glass bottom tankard was developed to combat this. A shilling could be clearly seen at the bottom of the tankard by the drinker who would then not take the drink avoiding being press ganged into enlistment. First mentioned around 1694 this practice continued until abolished in July 1870. However it continued to be referred to until the Mutiny Act 1878 where it was mentioned as enlistment money.
Great Gift
I wanted a tankard with the birth year of my father as it is for his birthday present and the coin at the bottom was the perfect solution. Andy at Pewter World helped me find the right year Shilling! It is a really great present and now I am asked to arrange tankards for specific years by our friends. I highly recommend it to anybody who is looking for a special present. Andy is finding the right coins for all my Tankards I have bought and can't wait for my Family to receive them in Japan <br /> <br />
An excellent product, many thanks indeed. Peter
