History of English money The name of the modern English currency appeared in the 12th century and originally meant literally “a pound of pure silver.” This is related to the "sterling" - an ancient English silver coin. 240 coins weighed 1 Tower pound (5400 grains, about 350 grams). Large purchases were expressed in “pounds sterling.” On the other hand, it was a way to check the weight of the coins - if the weight of 240 coins is not equal to 1 pound, the coins could be counterfeit or too worn.
