If you could tell me what the exact currency used by the Normans that conquered England in 1066+ was, that would be a great help, thank you.

  1. According to Seaby’s Coins of England, the currency produced under the Norman kings were all silver pennies, made at seventy local mints throughout the country. This continued the practice of the Anglo-Saxon kings. Henry III saw the use of a gold penny. Under Edward I came the groat (four penny piece), halfpenny and farthing. A more complex structure of gold and silver coins started with Edward III.

  3. It was the penny. A penny bought quite a lot in those days and they weren't made of copper then, they were made of silver.
