What is the difference between 1 pence in the sixteenth century and 1 pence today?

Pence is the plural term for a penny so you cannot have 1 pence.
1 penny in the 16th Century (and until the middle of the 20th C) was 1/240 of a pound. Since decimalisation (1971), a penny is 1/100 of a pound.
Comparisons in terms of inflation are not particularly reliable for several reasons:
- inflation between the start and end of the 16th century was around 600%, so any comparison will depend on what you starting point is;
- reliable data are hard to come by;
- inflation calculations are based on the cost of a basket of goods between two points in time. Ideally the basket of goods is the same. SOme adjustments are required for minor changes in the basket of goods. However, there will not be much overlap between the sort of things that a 16th C person and someone today would buy.
A "basket of goods" is a collection of things that a typical person would spend their money on.
