The "man" is the King of England at the time, George VI, the father of the present Queen.
The motto is heavily abbreviated Latin, and appears with variations on nearly all coins of the British Empire / Commonwealth.
A shilling was a basic unit of English money up until the decimal pound was adopted in 1971. It was equivalent to 12 pence, or 1/20 of a pound sterling, and held the same place in the coinage system as today's 5p coin.
Most shillings were issued in 2 varieties. If yours has the lion sitting up on the crown and holding a sword and a sceptre, it was issued for Scotland. Those issued for England show the lion standing on the crown.
In any case these coins are not considered to be scarce, and sell for around £2 (about US$3.75) in extremely fine condition. Uncirculated specimens sell for about £4 in the Scottish variety, and £6 in the English variety.
