In the old currency, there were 12 Pence in a Shilling and 20 Shillings in a Pound.

At Britains conversion to decimal, One Pound changed from One Pound of 240 (old) Pence, to One Pound of 100 (new) Pence.

Ten Shillings became 50 New Pence

Two Shillings became 10 New Pence

One Shilling became 5 New Pence

Later on, two further coins were introduced -

25 (New) Pence was the equivalent of the old Crown (Five Shillings)

20 (New) Pence was equivalent to 4 Shillings.

There was no new decimal coin for the other old denominations.

A Halfcrown converted to 12.5 New Pence

Sixpence converted to 2.5 New Pence

Threepence converted to 1.25 New Pence

One old Penny converted to 0.416 New Pence

One old Halfpenny converted to 0.208 New Pence
