A Shilling is 12 pre-decimal pence, before decimalisation 20 Shillings made one pound. From Decimalisation until the mid 1980s one shilling was classed as 5 new pence and could be used as such, so was at that time worth 5 new pence. however Shillings made before 1947 were 50% silver, so the intrinsic value was much higher than the face value, and Shillings before 1921 are 92.5% silver so were worth even more. Some shillings with low yearly mintage amounts are worth quite a bit more than other circulated specimens, and generally the older they are the more they are worth, in General a Shilling from 1947 onwards is worth less than a pound unless coin is in uncirculated condition, Shillings from 1921 to 1946 are worth approx 3 pounds unless uncirculated and Shillings from before 1921 are worth 5 pounds or more dependant on age and condition, as stated already, this does not include years where mintages are lower.
A British 1854 sterling silver Shilling (Victoria), uncirculated and in absolute mint condition could fetch up to £1,800 GBP. If it has been circulated but still in good condition, it might fetch anything from £100 to £850 GBP.
A British 1854/1 sterling silver Shilling (Victoria), circulated but still in good condition, might fetch anything from £165 to £1,850 GBP.
NOTE - The reverse of these coins is upside down to the obverse. This is normal.
The values quoted are the best possible for the best specimens in their grades, but may be significantly lower due to varying demand for the coin and the prevailing economic climate. A reputable coin dealer will be able to give a more accurate valuation based on inspection of the coin.

The "face value" of anything is whatever is inscribed on it. The face value of a Shilling is One Shilling (or 12 Pence if you prefer).

By "Ginny", I assume you are referring to the Guinea in the old British monetary system. The Guinea was equal to 21 shillings, or 252 pence. The Pound or "quid" was a much more common unit, and it was equal to 20 shillings or 240 pence. Certain things were commonly sold at auction, and the price would be quoted in Guineas. This allowed a shilling (12 pence) for the auctioneer and a pound (20 shillings) for the seller.
it can be sold for as much as any one would like it to be.

The British Shilling from 1937 to 1967 was produced in two versions, one with an "English" design on the reverse, the other with a "Scottish" design on the reverse. British Shillings were no longer made from silver after 1946. Pictures of a specific coin are difficult to come by. Frequently you should be able to find one on eBay, but the picture is withdrawn after the coin is sold. The two links below show a 1944 "English" reverse and a 1948 "Scottish" reverse which are just about identical to the 1950 coins.
