Welcome to [[Cunnan]], a [[Wiki]] collecting information for re-enactors of the [[Middle Ages]] and [[Renaissance]] with a heavy slant towards members of the [[SCA]]. |
|||
[[Cunnan]] is the largest [[SCA]] wiki in the world and anyone can edit our articles. You should '''be bold in updating pages!''' Articles can only be improved if people are contributing new information and improving old information. So add research information, how-to pages, event information and anything else you can think of. |

'''[[12th Century coins]]''': In [[England]] all [[money|currency]] was based on a single coin - [http://en2.wikipedia.org/wiki/English/British_coin_Penny the silver penny]. Most close [[Europe|European]] countries operated the same way too. The English penny showed a picture of the [[king]] (or ruling [[queen]]) and their [[names|name]] on one side, and a design of a [[cross]] on the other side, ringed by text describing which [[moneyer]] was in charge of making the coin, and where they were located (i.e. their [[mint]]). ([[12th_Century_References#Zarnecki 1984|Zarnecki 1984]]) When smaller change was required, a penny could be cut into a half or quarter penny along the lines of the cross design. However these coins were easier to shave [[silver]] off than whole pennies, so people prefered to keep coins whole where possible. |
