Two Bob was an expression for two shillings. Currency changed dramatically in The UK changed in the 1970s. Prior to that a £ was 20 shillings. Shillings are no longer made. Historically shillings were made from silver and use of the coin began after the Norman Conquest of England in 1066.

The expression “Two Bob” is used iften used in period dramas and comedies, for example “I gave two bob to the driver;” is something one might here someone say this on Downtown Abbey or All Creature’s Great and Small.

By the end of WW1, it was starting to be used as a insult or derogatory expression. The derogatory meaning grew after WW2, with the collapse of the British Empire.
