Origin of "Pounds Sterling"

How many folk who work every day
in the year who use the phrase
pounds sterling" are aware of its
origin? Probably not one in a thou
sand. Yet the adjective sterling" !"
which, apart from its commercial
sense, has come to indicate worth and
genuineness, has a curious historical
significance, and is a distinct survival
of times when England did not weigh
so heavily in the balance of power as
she does now. In the fourteenth CEN
tury the trade of the known world
was, almost without exception, in the
hands of the Hanseatic league. Within
this league there We're many towns,
most of which coined money, some
using better metal than others. Lu-
bee, Baltic city, made the best
money, and the English merchants,
who even then knew 4 good thing
