Comment
House of Plantagenet (1154-1399), Edward III (1327-77), Fourth coinage (1351-77), Pre-treaty period (1351-61), Series C, London 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 great economic change in England. The coinage reform of 1351, which introduced this coin, aimed to stabilize the currency and combat inflation by introducing a new standardized system of coinage. This coin, made of gold, was a significant step towards establishing a reliable and trustworthy currency system in England during the 14th century.
