英语词汇“york groat”的英英意思、用法、释义、翻译、读音、例句、短语、词组-英语词典

a. The English groat coined in 1351–2 was made equal to four pence. This ratio between the groat and the penny continued to be maintained; but owing to the progressive debasement of both coins, the ‘old groats’ which remained in circulation were valued at a higher rate (see quots. 1465, c1483, also 1552 in b). The groat ceased to be issued for circulation in 1662, and was not afterwards coined under that name. The ‘fourpence’ (popularly ‘fourpenny bit,’ ‘fourpenny piece’), which was issued from 1836 to 1856 (and after 1888 reissued for colonial circulation) was occasionally called a ‘groat,’ but the name was neither officially recognized nor commonly used. The Scottish fourpenny piece, first struck in 1358, is called a ‘groat’ (Anglo-Norman grote) in an English Act of 1390, and this name was used in Scotland itself in the 15th cent. Its value was already only 3d. English in 1373, and 2d. in 1390; later it fell much lower. In Ireland the groat was first struck in 1460. Harry groat (see Harry n.² Compounds 2). York groat (see quot. 1837).
