One interesting fact about the ½ Noble coin from Edward III's transitional treaty period is that it features a unique blend of both Plantagenet and Lancastrian design elements, reflecting the political tensions and alliances of the time. The coin's obverse bears the image of King Edward III, while the reverse features a shield with the arms of England, France, and Ireland, symbolizing the complex dynastic relationships and territorial claims of the period. This coin is a rare and valuable example of medieval numismatics, offering a glimpse into the complex history and political intrigue of 14th-century England.
