    i dont know...but a sovereign as a pound seems strange...

    and there cannot be 5 half crowns in a sovereign because: a half crown is (according to your table) 30 pennies...and 30 pennies x 5 = 150 pennies, not 240 pennies... you should see a psychiatrist!

    also there cannot be 240 pennies in a sovereign can there? 240 pennies are 20 shillings, and 20 shillings are a pound!!!

    umm...yes, follow the yellow half soveeign line and you will find 1/4 half crown and 1/4 crown...
