Prior to the full implementation of British decimal currency in 1971, general circulation coins were as follows -

Halfpenny - equivalent to 0.208 New Pence

Penny - equivalent to 0.416 New Pence

Threepence - equivalent to 1.25 New Pence

Sixpence - equivalent to 2.5 New Pence

Shilling - converted to 5 New Pence in 1968

Florin (Two Shillings) - converted to 10 New Pence in 1968

Halfcrown - equivalent to 12.5 New Pence

Crown (Five Shillings) - equivalent to 25 New Pence

The 50 New Pence coin was introduced in 1969 replacing the Ten Shilling note.

What is the value of a 1971 Eisenhower silver dollar with no mint mark?

If your 1971 coin is a uncirculated example it may be worth about $5.00 because the 1971 & 1972 issue coins were not included in the Uncirculated Mint sets sold from the Mint in those years. In general none of the circulated coins have more than face value. Only proof and uncirculated collectors coins sold from the Mint have premiums. The Mint did offer Proof and Uncirculated coins in 1971-1976 that were struck in 40% silver.
