A guinea was 21 shillings = 1 pound 1 shilling
So 10 guineas was 10 x 21 shillings = 10 pounds 10 shillings
A shilling was 12d and 1 pound was 240d ⇒ 1 shilling was 12/240 = 1/20 pound
At decimalization in 1971, £1 = 100p = 240d ⇒ 1 shilling = 1/20 x 100p = 5p
⇒ 10 pounds 10 shillings = £10 + 10 x 5p
= £10.50 in decimal currency.
