Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the ¼ Noble - Edward III (Treaty period; Calais) ND (1361-1369) coin is that it was minted during a time of political tension between England and France. The coin was issued during the reign of Edward III, who was trying to assert his claim to the French throne, leading to the Hundred Years' War between the two countries. Despite this, the coin still features the image of Edward III on one side and the royal coat of arms on the other, symbolizing the English monarchy's power and influence.
