    Not very much. Can't say off the top of my head without any resources with me, but it is just a regular UK 2 shilling piece. Pretty sure I have a ton of these.

    It's a 2 Shilling coin from England. They're common and not worth very much. Those are obsolete since Britain went to Metric Money. Before 100 pence was worth £1 it was 12p to a Shilling and 20 shillings to £1. The obverse reads "Elizabeth II, Queen By the Grace of God" in Latin. On the reverse the "Fid Def" is abbreviated Latin for "Defender of the Faith".

    IMG_9063.jpg Yep, the pre 1946 Brit coins were .500 fine and the pre 1920 were sterling .924 fine silver. Those are a good place to start, the half crowns go for a song these days. Have fun.
    Crown = 5 Shillings
    = 2 Half Crowns
    = 2 Florins + Shilling

    2 Shillings = 1 Florin
    OK, Now a pre 1920 Crown roughy equals a US Silver Dollar of the same era. The Crown is a wee bit bigger. Hope this helps.
