In British 'old money' 10/6 is 10 shillings and 6 pence (10s/6d) otherwise known as a half-guinea. A guinea was 1 pound and 1 shilling or 21 shillings. A guinea was considered a more gentlemanly amount than £1. You paid tradesmen, such as a carpenter, in pounds but gentlemen, such as an artist, in guineas.
