This is not accurate. It depends on the year of the money. If the money was from the time when coins were .925 silver, then 12 shillings and sixpence would be worth 20 pounds, 62 pence in today's money (as of 1/18/2016) assuming you don't add any numismatic value on top of that. .500 silver coins would be worth 11 pounds, 15 pence. Even base metal coins would have to be put through an inflation calculator to arrive at an accurate amount in today's money.
