Shilling/Pound conversion?[edit]

In this article, a double sovereign is cited as having "a nominal value of two pound sterling or 50 shillings." In the shilling article (and practically everywhere else,) the coin is described as "a coin worth one twentieth of a pound sterling". I suspect there's an error here, but I don't know enough to say. --2620:15C:2C5:2:E9EE:276A:2CC5:E032 (talk) 20:33, 4 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
