	Half laurel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The half laurel was a British coin minted between 1619 and 1625, with a value of ten shillings (half a pound, or laurel).
		The half laurel was the third British gold coin with a value of ten shillings produced during the reign of King James I.
		The half laurel was introduced to replace the double crown of 1604, which had an initial value of ten shillings but whose value had been increased to eleven shillings in 1612 because of the increasing value of gold; the need was felt for a ten-shilling coin in circulation again.

	British coinage - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The English penny was derived from a silver coin (the sceat of 20 grains weight) which was in general circulation in Europe during the Middle Ages.
		In 1920, the silver content of all British coins was reduced from 92.5% to 50%, with a portion of the remainder consisting of manganese, which caused the coins to tarnish to a very dark colour after they had been in circulation for a significant period.
		The weight of this coin was instituted by Charlemagne, and the purity of 92.5% silver (i.e., sterling silver) was instituted by Henry II in 1158 with the "Tealby Penny"—a hammered coin.

	ECONOMICS OF ENGLISH COINAGE DENOMINATIONS
		Later in the year, however, this coin was replaced by a larger coin of 6s 8d weighing 136.7 grains called a noble, but a gradual reduction in the weight and fineness of gold (to 120 grains) and silver (to 18 grains) over the next few years again reduced the integrity of the coinage.
		The coins, except for the half-penny, were of uniform style with a shield containing the cross of St. George on the obverse and two shields with the crosses of St. George and St. Andrew on the reverse.
		The concept of an overvalued English penny is further supported by the frequent need during the rise of English industry to produce a base coinage on par with the coinage of Flanders in order to prevent the drain of bullion from England to the continent.
