There are four types of 1951 five shillings or crown. The type you own is almost certainly the proof-like coin with mirror fields that was issued in large numbers to celebrate the Festival of Britain year. They are worth about £5 - £10 (October 2010 values) depening on condition.

The following are very rare

The frosted proof value is £675 - images are frosted on the coin.

Matt proof £4,000 ( a dull Matt finish - of the highest rarity)

Plain edge proof £1000 (also extremely rare).

Not a whole lot, its a common date and isn't silver. If in low grade it would sell for a few cents/pence, if in top grade it might sell for a dollar/pound.

If you're talking about a British shilling - none ! They were made from a nickel/copper alloy.
