My guess is that you have a 1950 Two Shilling coin from South Africa. The front of the coin has the words "GEORGIVS SEXTUS REX" (Latin for "George the Sixth, King") with a portrait, and the back reads "South Africa - SUID AFRIKA - 2 SHILLINGS" and has the date and a shield. It measures 28.3mm in diameter and weighs 11.31 grams. It is 80% silver, giving it an ASW (Actual Silver Weight) of 0.2909 troy ounces and a melt value (as of January 13, 2010) of US$5.40. According to the Standard Catalog of World Coins, 4,945 of such coins were produced in 1950, and an example is worth US$20 in Fine condition, US$40 in Very Fine condition, US$80 in Extremely Fine condition, and US$140 in Uncirculated condition.

Alternatively, you have a 1950 Two Shilling coin from Great Britain. The front of the coin has the words "GEORGIVS VI D:G:BR:OMN:REX" (abbreviated Latin for "George the Sixth, By the grace of God, King of All Britain") with a portrait, and the back reads "FID:DEF" (abbreviated Latin for "Defender of the Faith") and "TWO SHILLINGS 1950" and has crowned Tudor rose, with a thistle and "G" on the left and a shamrock and "R" on the right. It measures 28.3mm in diameter and is made of copper-nickel. According to the Standard Catalog of World Coins, 24,357,000 of such coins were produced in 1950 (plus another 18,000 in Proof), and an example is worth US$0.20 in Fine condition, US$0.35 in Very Fine condition, US$1.00 in Extremely Fine condition, US$20.00 in Uncirculated condition, and US$25.00 in Proof.

What is an Australia 9411 silver one shilling coin worth?

The Australian One Shilling coin was replaced by a 10 cent coin in 1966 at Australia's conversion to decimal currency. The way currency and personal finances are currently heading in the early 21st century, there is not not much likelihood that Australia will reintroduce a One Shilling coin in 9411.
