What was the symbol for Halfpennies in 1066?

In 1066, the Halfpenny was an improvised coin. It was a Penny, literally cut in half. The symbol for the British Penny has long been a lower case "d" for the Roman "denarius" which was a Roman coin predating the Penny. In all probability, 1 Penny was shown as "1d" and 1 Halfpenny as "½d".

What money did they use in 1348?

The actual money depended on the country, and in many cases the part of the country. In 1348, England, France, and other parts of Europe used coins about the size of a dime or UK five pence for their most common every day coins. In England such a coin was called a penny, and in France it was a denier, but in any event, it was a continuation of a major coin type from the Roman Empire called a denarius, which is why the English penny was abbreviated with a "d." In England, King Edward III was king, and he issued other silver coins, a silver half penny, and a silver farthing. In his later years, he also issued a groat, which was four pence, and a half groat, which was two, but these did not appear until 1351. Early in his reign he had issued a gold florin or double leopard, which was valued at 72 pence, along with a half florin or leopard, and a quarter florin or helm. He changed the gold coinage in 1344 to a gold coin called a noble, which was 80 pence, along with a half noble, and a quarter noble. The continental coinages were similar, but very complicated because there were many issuing authorities.

How much is an 1891 roman penny worth?

Uh, remember your history classes? The western Roman Empire fell in 476 AD and the Eastern Empire collapsed in the Middle Ages, so a "Roman" penny from 1891 would be something out of a time travel story.What you probably have is a British One Penny coin, with a picture of the goddess Britannia on the front and Queen Victoria on the back. If so, please post a new question with that information.
