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 turmoil 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. However, the treaty did not last, and by the time this coin was minted, England was facing economic difficulties and political instability, including the Black Death, which had ravaged the country in 1348-1349. Despite these challenges, the ½ Noble coin remained a popular denomination and was widely used in trade and commerce.
