You are asking about a 2 1/2 Shilling coin (KM#19.2) from South Africa (note that the initial "2" in "2 1/2" looks a lot like a "9"). The coin is 32.3mm in diameter, weighs 14.14 grams and is 80% silver, giving it an ASW (Actual Silver Weight) of 0.3637 troy ounces. The obverse (front) of the coin has an image of King George V of Great Britain and the words "GEORGIVS V REX IMPERATOR" (Latin for "George the Fifth, King and Emperor"). The reverse (back) of the coin has a large shield splitting the date (that is, "19" is to the left of the shield and "30" is to the right of it), with the words "South Africa" and "SUID-AFRIKA" (Afrikaans for "South Africa"), separated by a rosette, above the shield and the denomination, "2 1/2 SHILLINGS" below it. 324,000 of these coins were produced in 1930.
With silver currently (as of April 14, 2011) at $42.00 per troy ounce, the "melt value" of this coin is about US$15.28. Numismatically (according to the Standard Catalog of World Coins), an example is probably worth about US$15 in Very Fine condition, US$100 in Extremely Fine condition and US$250 in Uncirculated condition.
A further 14 of these coins were produced in proof condition for collectors - an example of such a proof coin would be valued at about US$1,650.

How is worth 1950 1 south African shilling?
In 1950, the South African shilling was a currency used in South Africa before the country decimalized its currency in 1961. At that time, one South African shilling was worth 1/20 of a pound, or 10 cents in the decimal currency system. Therefore, the value of 1 South African shilling in 1950 can be considered approximately equivalent to 10 cents in today's currency. However, historical exchange rates and inflation would need to be factored in for a more precise modern comparison.
