  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 (sterling silver) was instituted by Henry II in 1158 with the "Tealby Penny" – a hammered coin.
