Grade: VF-30 Silver 4p (Groat), England, Henry VIII 1526-1544 Ex-Pittman Collection In Medieval England, measurements were based on the length of the King's foot. This resulted in a 12 and 24 base for nearly all measurements of currency. The Groat (4 pence) is one third of the English Shilling (12 pence) which was the primary English silver trade piece. This fine example of Henry VIII, dates from between 1526 and 1544.

The English Shilling was worth 12 pence and it took 20 Shillings to equal one pound.
