To determine the modern equivalent of 5 shillings in 1765, we need to consider inflation and changes in the value of currency over time. One way to calculate this is by using the Consumer Price Index (CPI) to adjust for inflation. However, without specific CPI data for 1765, we can estimate that 5 shillings in 1765 would be roughly equivalent to around $20-$25 in today's currency, based on historical exchange rates and purchasing power comparisons.
