Duodecimal coinage, as used until 1971. (Twelve pennies to a shilling, twenty shillings to a pound.) Coins dating from 1860 were still in regular use until that date, including the gold sovereign (one pound), the Florin (two shillings), the Half Crown (two shillings and sixpence), and the Farthing, which was a quarter of an old penny. And 21 shillings made one guinea.

In the early 19th century, there was also the Groat (four pence).
