Assuming you're referring to pre-decimal British Coins, there were 20 shillings to the pound. That means each equates to 5 pence so 27s = £1.35

"Thrupence" was one of the many regional pronunciations for "Threepence".

There were 2-penny coins popularly called "tuppence" and 3-penny coins nicknamed "thruppence". A pound was 240 old pence so depending on which coin you're describing, twenty of them would be worth either :

> 2d: 40/240 of a pound, or about £0.17

> 3d: 60/250 of a pound, or £0.25
