My players never can seem to keep it straight. most of these have half-___ and two-___, some have quarter-___, a few have three-quarter-___ several have tree-___ and a few have four-___... but I've not noted those. Mites were a sixth of a farthing, never had a coin, but did have bookkeeping use.<table style='width: 100%'><tr><td>Name of unit</td><td>d</td><td>S/d</td><td>£</td><td>Notion</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>farthing</td><td>0.25d</td><td></td><td></td><td>fourth penny</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>penny     </td><td>1d</td><td></td><td></td><td>denarius</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>groat      </td><td>4d</td><td></td><td></td><td>⅓S</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>shilling</td><td>12d</td><td>1/-</td><td></td><td>¹/₂₀ £</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>helm       </td><td>18d</td><td>1/6</td><td></td><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td>florin</td><td></td><td>24d</td><td>2/-</td><td></td><td>2s</td></tr><tr><td>leopard  </td><td>36d</td><td>3/-</td><td></td><td>3s</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>noble (early)</td><td>40d</td><td>3/4</td><td></td><td>⅙ £</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>noble (late)</td><td>50d</td><td>4/2</td><td></td><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td>crown    </td><td>60d</td><td>5/-</td><td></td><td>¼ £</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>noble (early)</td><td>80d</td><td>6/8</td><td></td><td>⅓ £</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>angel     </td><td>96d</td><td>8/-</td><td></td><td>4 florins</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>noble (late)</td><td>100d</td><td>8/4</td><td></td><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td>mark    </td><td>160d</td><td>13/4</td><td></td><td>⅔ £</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>sovereign</td><td>240d</td><td>20/-</td><td></td><td>1£ also laurel, unite, carolus (early), broad</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Guinea   </td><td>252d</td><td>21/-</td><td>1£ 1/-</td><td>pound and a shilling - tax related</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>carolus (late)</td><td>276d</td><td>23/-</td><td>1£ 3/-</td><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td>rose ryal</td><td>360d</td><td>30/-</td><td>1£ 10/-</td><td>1½£ </td><td></td></tr><tr><td></td><td></td><td></td><td></td><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td></td><td></td><td></td><td></td><td></td><td></td></tr></table>Notionally, the gold penny was worth 1½ shilling to 4 shillings at various points, nominally 2/- for much of the early run.coins worth more than 2/- tended to be gold.For those who don't know, the x/y notation is Not a fraction, but shillings slash pence, so 1/6 is 1 shilling and 6 pence.(early) indicates that a later period coin has the same name and a different value(late) indicates a said later period coin.Most of these are late renaissance or later...Just putting it out there for an example set...</blockquote>
