Best Answer

It depends on what country/state you are talking about and also who was the ruler at the time. Each new monarch/pope of an area had coins minted with their face or insignia. New coins came out constantly. In Italy gold and silver were used in the form of crowns but in books from the time period there are references of pennies, shillings, farthings and even notes of credit; which were just pieces of paper endorsed by a official. There are mentions of the doubloon also.
