You are asking about a Florin (Two Shillings) coin from South Africa (KM#18). The coin is 28.3mm in diameter, weighs 11.31 grams, and is 80% silver, giving it an ASW (Actual Silver Weight) of 0.2909 troy ounces. The front bears an image of King George the Fifth and the words "GEORGIVS V REX IMPERATOR" (Latin for "George the Fifth, King and Emperor" - "Emperor" refers to his title as Emperor of India). The back has a shield dividing the date "19" and "24", with the words "South Africa" and "ZUID-AFRIKA" (Afrikaans for "South Africa") above and "FLORIN" below. 1,513,000 were produced in 1924, the largest annual mintage (by quite a margin) during George the Fifth's reign.

With silver at US$21.70 per troy ounce (as of October 1, 2010), the "melt value" of the coin is about $6.31.

According to the Standard Catalog of World Coins, the coin is valued at bullion value in Fine condition, US$15 in Very Fine condition, US$40 in Extremely Fine condition, and US$150 in Uncirculated condition.
