Ten Shillings became the 50 Pence coin at decimalisation.

Depending on which part of "Tudor times" you refer to, the equivalent of 50 Pence may have been referred to as Ten Shillings, Ten Testoons, Half Pound and Half-Sovereign.

Given the way the currency and coinage bounced around in those days, it could have been known by many other names, however briefly.

Depending on which part of "Tudor times" you refer to, the equivalent of a Pound (of 20 Shillings) would have been a Sovereign.

During "Tudor times" over the years, the value of the Sovereign moved around, and was valued at 30 Shillings for quite a while.
