To determine the weight of 1 shilling (1s) worth of 5 pence (5p) coins, you first need to know how many 5p coins make up 1s. Since 1 shilling equals 12 pence, you would have 12 / 5 = 2.4. Since you can't have a fraction of a coin, you would need 2 coins for a total of 10p, which is less than 1s. Therefore, 1s worth of 5p coins corresponds to 2 coins (10p) and the weight would depend on the specific weight of the 5p coin, which is approximately 3.25 grams, making the total weight approximately 6.5 grams for 2 coins.
