The Australian Shilling is a silver coin which was used in the Commonwealth of Australia prior to decimalization.
It has the same dimensions and composition as the British pre-decimal shilling, from which it is derived (for a time, the coins circulated in parallel and were interchangeable in Australia - but not in the United Kingdom).
A shilling is equal to 1/20th of a pound.
