An 1824 shilling in mint condition is worth up to 450 pounds ($675)
There have always been 12 Pence to the Shilling since the Shilling was first introduced.
12 pence =1 shilling 240 pence = 1 pound 20 shillings = 1 pound
Before the British currency reform, there were 12 pence in a shilling, and 20 shillings in a pound, so there were 240 pence in a pound. That system was dropped in 1971, when the UK converted to "new pence" (worth 2.4 old pence), making 100 new pence per pound. The shilling was replaced with a 5 new pence coin (worth the same amount as the former shilling, 1/20th of a pound).
Under pre-decimal currency in the UK, a shilling was worth twelve pence, and a sixpence worth six pence. The UK adopted decimal currency in 1971.
12 pence
A British Shilling in 1950 had the purchasing power of about £1.15 GBP today.
Before England decimalised the Pound, one shilling was worth one twentieth of a pound or 12 pence. Nowadays shillings aren't used, but it would be worth 5 pence of today's decimalised pound.
A shilling is worth more than a penny. In the British currency system, there are 12 pennies in a shilling.
You would need to know the condition and denomination (farthing, half penny, penny, three pence, six pence, shilling, 2 shilling, or 2 1/2 shilling) of the coin to be able to get an estimated value.
It was worth 12 pence in pre-decimalisation money
You do not specifiy 2 Pence or 2 Pounds. Either way, both coins are still potentially in circulation and unless they are in mint uncirculated condition, will be worth 2 Pence or 2 Pounds respectively.
