What is the face value of an Australian Shilling?

The face value of One Shilling is, One Shilling. There were 12 Pennies in a Shilling. At the conversion to decimal currency in Australia on the 14th of February, 1966, a Shilling converted to Ten cents. If you are asking this question because you have a pile of old shillings you want to know the value of then I suggest you be aware that that a coin can have 3 types of value. Face Value - in this case 10c Intrinsic value - in this case $3 to $4 dollars Collector value - in this case $2 to $40,000+ I suggest you read this article on Valuing an Australian Shilling (see url below) and seek some further advice if unsure Whatever you do don't take them to the bank and cash them in!
