A Shilling was a coin with a value of 12 pence.

A Florin was a 2 Shilling coin.

Both of these coins were used in Britain and many British Empire/Commonwealth countries.

At Britains changeover to decimal currency, the Florin and the Shilling were replaced by the 10 and 5 New Pence coins respectively.

However, if you're referring to a different type of florin, such as the Dutch or Italian versions, the conversion would differ based on current exchange rates.
