The Guinea and its fractional denominations were withdrawn from circulation in 1816 and effectively replaced by the Sovereign and Half-Sovereign (One Pound and Ten Shillings respectively). When the Guinea was in circulation, it was worth One Pound and One Shilling (or 21 Shillings). The Shilling was progressively withdrawn from circulation after decimalisation. The Shilling became 5 New Pence in the new decimal currency. A Half-Guinea in modern terms, would be the equivalent of 55 Pence.

To convert pence to guineas, you need to know that one guinea is equal to 21 shillings, and one shilling is equal to 12 pence. Therefore, one guinea is 21 × 12 = 252 pence. To find out how many guineas are in 504 pence, divide 504 by 252, which equals 2. Therefore, there are 2 guineas in 504 pence.
One Pound is equivalent to 100 pence. Since each 1 pence coin weighs 3.56 grams, the total weight of 100 pence coins would be 356 grams. Thus, one pound worth of 1 pence coins weighs 356 grams.
Before England decimalised the Pound, one shilling was worth one twentieth of a pound or 12 pence. Nowadays shillings aren't used, but it would be worth 5 pence of today's decimalised pound.
