That's a very general question.
If you're referring to a British shilling, it was a coin worth 1/20 of a pound sterling in the old pre-decimal currency system. Today it would be equivalent to 5 pence, or about 8¢ in US, Canadian, or Australian cents.
From a collector's viewpoint the answer is more varied. Shillings were issued for many centuries. Late-date ones generally don't have a lot of extra value but older coins may be worth a considerable amount depending on their date and design. Specific information as to date and design would be needed though.

The value of a one shilling coin depends on its age, condition, and rarity. In terms of British shillings, they are no longer in circulation since the UK adopted decimal currency in 1971. Today, a one shilling coin would be considered a collectible item rather than having monetary value.
