The Guinea and its fractional denominations were withdrawn from circulation in 1816 and effectively replaced by the Sovereign and Half-Sovereign (One Pound and Ten Shillings respectively). When the Guinea was in circulation, it was worth One Pound and One Shilling (or 21 Shillings). The Shilling was progressively withdrawn from circulation after decimalisation. The Shilling became 5 New Pence in the new decimal currency. A Half-Guinea in modern terms, would be the equivalent of 55 Pence.
Before England decimalised the Pound, one shilling was worth one twentieth of a pound or 12 pence. Nowadays shillings aren't used, but it would be worth 5 pence of today's decimalised pound.
