The shilling is an obsolete denomination in Great Britain (it was replaced in 1968, although proof examples for collecters were also produced in 1970), but there were 20 shillings to the pound (and 12 pennies to the shilling), so 15 shillings equates to 15/20 (or 0.75) of a pound. The pound, as of February 10, 2009, is worth US$1.45. Thus, 15 shillings would be worth about US$1.09. The numismatic value of the coins themselves, however, may be higher depending on date and condition.
