yeomanly STERLING .
Current money of Great Britain ,
but anciently a small coin ,
worth about one penny ;
and so called ,
as some suppose ,
because it was stamped with the figure of a small star ,
or ,
as others suppose ,
because it was first stamped in England in the reign of King John ,
by merchants from Germany called Esterlings .
Pounds sterling ,
originally signified so many pounds in weight of these coins .
Thus we find in Matthew Paris ,
A .
D .
1242 ,
the expression "
Accepit a rege pro stipendio tredecim libras esterlingorum ."
The secondary or derived sense is a certain value in current money ,
whether in coins or other currency .
