DENOMINATIONS.--_Silver._ Groat, Half-groat, Penny, Halfpenny, and
Farthing. _Gold._ Noble, Half-noble, Quarter-noble, and, later, Angel,
and Half-angel or Angelet.
_Silver._ Same in every respect with the preceding ones, the only
distinction being by weight, and minor differences, which are not to
be taken as certain indications for appropriation; the weight of the
earlier Groat being 60 grains, and the later, or “light coinage,” 48,
and the other coins in proportion; the 48 grains Groat very rare.
