One Twelfth of a Shilling, apart from the obvious answer of One Penny, was a coin issued by the States of Jersey from 1877 to 1964.

Other fractional denominations included One Twenty-fourth of a Shilling and One Forty-eighth of a Shilling, possibly recognisable as the equivalent of a British Halfpenny and Farthing respectively.

Prior to 1877, it was even more confusing with coins such as One Thirteenth of a Shilling, One Twenty-sixth of a Shilling and One Fifty-second of a Shilling.
