s = shilling; d = pence; y'd or 'yds = yard/yards.
currently,
1 pound = 20 shilling (20s)
1 shilling = 12 pence (12d)
In Henry VIII's time the Half Laurel or Double Crown = ten shilling; similarly, the Crown = five shillings
http://www.coins.nd.edu/ColCoin/ColCoinIntros/BritishDenominations3.html
roman numerals:
i = 1, v = 5, x = 10, l = 50,
j = i and is used at the final position within the number
I'm not sure what "con'" is in reference to.
i figured it out, though not a directly translation, i understand its intent.
