What does the cryptic crossword clue "Amount of fifty-one quid is tantalizingly split evenly (11)" mean?

The definition is "split evenly". The wordplay uses a hidden word. hidden in (amount of) fifty-onE QUID IS TANTalizingly. I thought it was against The Times style guide to use -ize, and it looks out of place to me. The answer is EQUIDISTANT.

Amount of fifty-one quid is tantalizingly split evenly (11)
