Former coin worth one twentieth of a pound (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

shilling

(Other definitions for shilling that I've seen before include "Pre-decimalisation coin" , "soldier once took it from the King" , "Old piece" , "Old unit of imperial money, worth 12 pence" , "Until 1971, ready here" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
