Comment
House of Lancaster (1399-1461), Henry VI 1st reign (1422-61), Annulet issue (1422-30), struck at the Calais mint.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Groat - Henry VI (Annulet issue; Calais) ND (1422-1430) coin is that it was minted during the reign of King Henry VI, who was only a child at the time, and therefore, the coin is considered a rare example of a juvenile coinage.
