The History of Sterling

Sterling is 1240 years old !

Born about 775AD, when “sterlings” or silver pennies were the main currency in Anglo-Saxon kingdoms, they were originally coined to keep Viking raiders away by paying protection money.

A century and a half later Athelstan, the first King of England, founded a series of mints across his newborn nation and sterling became the national currency. The name being linked to the meaning of “ster” in old German – strong, pure, stable, reliable, or excellent.

Sterling Silver retained importance through the middle ages until subsequently being replaced by gold as the currency standard. Sterling was held in very high esteem and we hope you agree that our limited edition sculpture upholds that tradition.
