The major unit of British currency in 1777 was the Guinea, a gold coin valued at 21 Shillings.

Answer 3

A very interesting year, 1066.

It seems that the only coin produced at the time was the Penny. It was minted at different mints all over the country and may have been made from gold or silver depending on where and when it was struck, and whether it was a Saxon or a Norman Penny.

In those good old days, a Penny might be cut in half or quarters at the mint to produce smaller change, hence the Halfpenny and the Forthing (Farthing).
