Définition

• Another name for the Unite (q.v.), a gold coin issued by James I of England.

  In the reign of Charles II the term was used to distinguish the hammered twenty- shilling pieces from the new coins of the same value then introduced called Guineas (q.v.).

  The Broads were called in and declared to be no longer current in 1732-33, the majority of them having become much dim- inished in value and size by wear and clip- ping.
