A British informal contraction of 'fivepence' — the sum of five pennies. The clipped form follows a general pattern of colloquial British money talk (cf. 'tuppence' for twopence, 'tenpence'). Largely obsolete since decimalisation, but still encountered in older literature and occasionally in regional speech.
