What would have been the relative values of the currency, both to each other (how many blanks in a blank) and to the real world (what would they have purchased)? Also, what would have been the taxes on a medium-sized village?|||There were silver coins used in England in the 12th century, but a lot of things were still done by barter.
If you take a look at http://www.coins-of-the-uk.co.uk/coins.h鈥?/a> and look at the entries for the farthing (1/4 of a penny) the half penny, and the penny, you'll see a little information on those coins|||There was NO SUCH THING as "Currency".. GOLD was used but mostly it was BARTERING. Taxes were often paid with goods and services.. giving a pig or a chicken to the land owner or King. Much of it was a portion of the HARVEST and if you would ever even bother to go to a MUSEUM that displays the tools used in agriculture during those years you would see special baskets with a line or a separation in them that was used to measure out the portion to give to the tax collector.|||It would have been bartering mostly which means exchange of goods or services as only the rich had gold or jewels to use as payment between each other
