I think on a lot of British Coins, the 500 fine stands for the amount of silver it was struck in. Hopefully some British Collectors could verify that.

 

.500 Fine means it is 0.500 (half) silver. 50% silver by weight.

 

thats what I was thinking too, 50% silver maybe?

never settle for less; insist on all 900
