What does it mean:"Pounds buy more than shilling"?

Dear student,

Dear student,

​​​​Your question is not clear and appears to be incomplete. Please be specific so that we can provide you with some meaningful help. But I am still providing you with some answers:
The shilling was a coin whose worth was one-twentieth of a pound.
So maybe the above line means that one pound can buy more stuff than one shilling.

Regards,
