Does anyone know the origin of the term tusharoo ( not sure of spelling but it sounded like that!) as a slang term for a half a crown?

tosheroon/tusheroon/tosh/tush/tusseroon - half-a-crown (2/6) from the mid-1900s, and rarely also slang for a crown (5/-), most likely based in some way on madza caroon ('lingua franca' from mezzo crown), perhaps because of the rhyming, or some lost cockney rhyming rationale.
