Well I don't know much about coinage but ill try and help:
This was in about 50-100 AD by the way:
1 pound 1 unit, about a labourers daily wage
5 pounds 4 sesterciis
100 pounds 100 sestercii or 25 denarii
1p 1 quarter of a sestercii
There were probably more, and don't trust my spelling either. This should help you, and make it eisier to find out more.
