One Shilling GBP in 1957 had the purchasing power of about £0.80 GBP today.
One Shilling GBP in 1957 had the purchasing power of about $1.21 USD today.
NOTE - This historical conversion is the result of many calculations and considerations by a purpose designed program for which I can take no credit. The resulting answer should only be regarded as an approximation.
The Royal Mint did not issue any coins called a Quarter-Shilling, but a quarter of a Shilling was a Threepence, a coin that was issued for hundreds of years. The Bailiwick of Jersey, one of the Channel Islands, issued a "One Fourth of a Shilling" coin variously from 1957 to 1966.
One British 1733 Shilling would have the purchasing power of about 6.7 British Pounds today
1/6d - one shilling and sixpence for a pint of milk.
One Twelfth of a Shilling, apart from the obvious answer of One Penny, was a coin issued by the States of Jersey from 1877 to 1964. Other fractional denominations included One Twenty-fourth of a Shilling and One Forty-eighth of a Shilling, possibly recognisable as the equivalent of a British Halfpenny and Farthing respectively. Prior to 1877, it was even more confusing with coins such as One Thirteenth of a Shilling, One Twenty-sixth of a Shilling and One Fifty-second of a Shilling.
One shilling in the 1940s would roughly be equivalent to about £2-£3 in today's money, depending on the specific year and inflation rates.
In the old coinage system, there were two tanners (or sixpences) to one shilling. A guinea was the equivalent of 1 pound & 1 shilling. There were 20 shillings in a pound. Therefore there were 42 tanners in a guinea.
If you are given one rate, x/y then multiply (or divide) both numbers by any non-zero number. You will have an equivalent rate.
A guinea was equivalent to one pound and one shilling (£1, 1s) in old British money (£sd). It's modern equivalent would be one pound and 5 pence (£1.05).
One question at a time please. I presume you refer to British Shillings. These coins already have a valuation using the format - "What is the value of a 1932 British Shilling?"
The annual equivalent rate is 15.5625%. The amount invested is irrelevant to calculation of the equivalent rate.
It is worth one Kenya shilling.
One antonym for "shilling" could be "denouncing" or "criticizing."
