The Shilling was a subunit of the old redundant currency used in Britain and many of the British Empire/Commonwealth countries prior to the decimalisation of those currencies. When they were in use, there were 20 Shillings in One Pound, therefore 100 Shillings was Five Pounds.
There are several countries using the Shilling as their major unit of currency, including Kenya, Somalia, Tanzania and Uganda. If you refer to one of these, see the link below to the Universal Currency Converter.
