If anyone can help, please give Anglo-Saxon pound some love as it now just a stub after I removed a large chunk of off-topic material about silver pennies (forking this article, badly) and irrelevant post-Conquest info. I am particularly worried the Britannica citation which says that a pound of silver was divided into 240 'sterlings' – which are totally without mention here. -- John Maynard Friedman ( talk) 20:03, 21 July 2021 (UTC)
Re: "perhaps something in the region of £10–£30 in modern currency". This key phrase is unsourced and (imho) seems greatly inflated, since a 1.5g silver penny should be worth around 1.5g x US$23/ozt/(31.1g/ozt) ~ US$1.11 today.
