The Shilling coin was minted in most years of the reign of George II. Can you be more specific about which particular year you might be referring to?
No resources were used in the making of British West African 2 Shillings coins for Kings George I, II and III. The 2 Shilling coin was not introduced into any of the British Empire currencies until 1848 during the reign of Queen Victoria, some 28 years after the death of King George III.
There were two different George VI Shilling coins issued during the period 1937 to 1952. The "English reverse" featuring a left facing lion rampant on a crown. The "Scottish reverse" featuring a forward facing lion seated on a crown and holding a sword and sceptre. Both of these designs were continued on the Elizabeth II Shillings. The value of these coins varies quite a bit depending on the year.
British Shillings were never minted in gold. It was only ten years earlier that were no longer minted in 50% silver. Your coin may have been plated. Modified coins have no value.
You would need to know the condition and denomination (farthing, half penny, penny, three pence, six pence, shilling, 2 shilling, 2 1/2 shilling, 5 shilling or pound) of the coin to be able to get an estimated value.

Silver and copper alloy. A sixpence was a silver coin equal in value to six pennies, or pence. Under the British pre-decimal pound/shilling/pence (£sd) system, a pound was valued at 240 pence. One pound was equal to 20 shillings and a shilling was equal to 12 pence. Up to the reign of George V, all silver coins had a silver content of 92.5% silver and 7.5% copper, called sterling silver, which was the standard set by Henry II. In 1920, during the reign of George V, the silver content of all British silver coins was reduced to 50%.
Not a lot because George IV was on throne from 1820-1830. He died 26 June 1830. George II reigned from 1727-1760
