	Victorian coinage
		For most people the penny was still the central coin of their currency and was used in words like 'penn'orth' meaning a penny-worth of something as in 'I'll take a penn'orth of tobacco' and also as in 'it's a good penn'orth, sir' meaning it is good value for your penny.
		It was called a florin (a term first used for the coin produced in the 13th century in the Italian city of Florence) and it was minted for nearly 120 years until 1968 when, in preparation for decimalisation, a coin of the same size became the new ten pence piece.
		The ten pence and five pence coins (equivalent to the two shilling and one shilling pieces) were phased in from 1968 and the new fifty pence piece was first issued in October 1969 to replace the ten shilling note which ceased to be legal tender on 22 November 1970.
