There is no $ value (except as a collectors item), shillings are no longer legal tender in Britain.
The Florin (Two Shillings), is part of an obsolete currency used by Britain and many of the 50 plus Commonwealth countries. At Britains conversion to decimal currency in 1971, the Florin converted to 10 New Pence. At that time, the 10 New Pence was the rough equivalent of $0.26 USD or $1.45 USD today.
