When was the pound sterling introduced?
Originally, way back around the late 8th century AD, the "Pound" was an accounting term rather than a monetary value. It referred to the weight of 240 silver Pennies. The name "Sterling" was applied to the currency around 928 AD. The name was possibly derived from a number of different similar sounding European words. Pennies were also known as "Sterlings" at this time, and 240 Pennies was known as "a Pound of a Sterlings". Because Pennies were made from a high quality silver and were quite durable, the terms "Pound" and "Sterling" were combined, and by the time of Henry II in the mid to late 12th century AD, the term "Pound Sterling" had come to be generally used to refer to the currency. The "Pound Sterling" is the oldest currency still in use today.
