Comment
House of Plantagenet (1154-1399), Edward III (1327-77), Fourth coinage (1351-77), Post-treaty period (1369-77), London mint.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Noble coin from Edward III's Post-Treaty period is that it was minted during a time of economic and political change in England. The coin was issued after the Treaty of Brétigny in 1360, which marked the beginning of a period of relative peace between England and France. This allowed for an increase in trade and commerce, and the demand for coins like the ½ Noble grew as a result. Additionally, the coin's gold content and intricate design made it a symbol of wealth and power, reflecting the growing influence of the English monarchy during this time.
