The Farthing: $25

Receive our heartfelt appreciation!

​

LEARN MORE: A Farthing was a very small silver coin originally ¼ the worth of a pence or Penny from Medieval England. It meant “a fourth part” in Old English. Just as we use Pennies today in the United States, this coin was used for smaller denominations. Pennies once had crosses on the back to make them easier to cut into Farthings. The first official minting of a Farthing coin was in 1279 by King Edward I. But they were tiny and easy to lose. King James I issued the first ever coin to be made i

The Sceat: $100

Receive recognition on both our social media site(s) and in our gate flyer, as well as a ticket to the event.

​

LEARN MORE: A Sceat (pronounced “skate”) came earlier than a Penny but it is worth a pence just as a Penny was. This coin was predominantly used in Anglo-Saxon England from 675-750 AD. It was a thick silver coin. The word “Sceat” is actually the Old English word for “treasure” or “wealth.” Interestingly, researchers believe the front of the design is a plumed bird.

The Penny: $250

​

LEARN MORE:  A Penny to the Anglo-Saxon, Norman, and early medieval English was a silver coin dating back to the 760’s and King Offa of Mercia. Pennies were often cut into “Half Pennies” or “Farthings” until those coins were later minted.  This coin was the most consistent form of currency and an unskilled laborer would make approximately 12-18 Pennies a week. The Penny was worth 1 pence each. 

The Groat: $500

Receive all of the Penny benefits, an 1/8th page ad of appreciation in our gateflyer and a total of 4 tickets to the event; 2 of which shall be  “Friends of Faire” memberships.

​

LEARE MORE: Rhyming with the word "boat," a Groat was silver, 4 Pennies/pence in value, and used for larger transactions. In England, people often received just 3-4 of these coins per week for their labors. This was first minted in 1351 by King Edward III who wished to create a more standard form of currency than using foreign coins. “Groat” means “large” because it was a larger silver coin than the Penny.

​

LEARN MORE: A Shilling was silver and worth 12 Pennies/pence in value and was used for transactions larger yet. The Shilling was worth just about an unskilled laborer's week’s wages in England. Prior to the coin actually being minted in 1503 by King Henry VII, a shilling was a unit of account to say 12 Pennies and was first referenced in Anglo-Saxon England in the year 1066.

LEARN MORE: A Noble was also English and made of gold. It was predominantly used for significant transactions and military payments. This was the first successful gold coin in English history. The English Noble was widely accepted in international trade after it was introduced in 1344 by King Edward III. This coin was worth 80 Pennies/pence. It came into being when its gold predecessor, the Leopard, was not well received because the face value was more than the content of the gold in the coin.
