Comment
House of Lancaster (1399-1461), Henry VI 1st reign (1422-61), Annulet-trefoil sub-issue (1422-27), struck at the Calais mint.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Groat - Henry VI (Annulet-trefoil sub-issue; Calais) ND (1422-1427) coin is that it was minted during the reign of King Henry VI, who was only a child at the time, and the coin features a unique design that includes an annulet (a ring-like symbol) and a trefoil (a three-leafed clover) on the reverse side, which was a distinctive feature of coins minted at the Calais mint.
