I also have a King Charles I Shilling from 1625-1626 appx date of coin from his reign as King from the House of Stuart from 1625-1649 ungraded at this time.

Tudor money was all in coins, paper wasn’t introduced until the 18th century.The value of coins depended on how much gold and silver were in them. Today coins have a texture at the edge to prevent clipping, but in Tudor times people would chop off tiny amounts around the edge melt it down and make new coins.

England today still uses pounds and pence, but the shilling ended in 1971. In Tudor times a pound had 240 pennies, there were twenty shillings to each pound (12 pennies in a shilling).

Some coins used in the Tudor era and their value were:
one fine sovereign = one pound and ten shillings
one pound = twenty shillings
one angel = ten shillings
one crown = five shillings
one half-crown = two shillings and six pence
one shilling = twelve pennies
one sixpence = six pennies
one groat = four pennies
halfgroat = two pennies
three farthing = 3/4 of a penny
one farthing = 1/4 of a penny

I have a set of the shillings from King Charles II forward to current time also in my collection.
