Comment
House of Plantagenet (1154-1399), Edward III (1327-77), Fourth coinage (1351-77), Post-treaty period (1369-77), Calais mint.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Noble coin from Edward III's reign is that it was minted during a time of economic and political change in England. The coin was issued during the Post-Treaty period, which followed the Treaty of Brétigny in 1360, which had established a temporary peace between England and France. This period saw a significant increase in trade and commerce, and the introduction of new coinage was likely a response to the growing economic activity. Additionally, the fact that the coin was made of gold suggests that it was a high-value denomination, likely used for large transactions or as a store of value.
