Comment
House of Plantagenet, Edward III (1327-77), Fourth coinage (1351-77), Treaty period (1361-69), Calais mint.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ¼ 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 Treaty period, which was a time of relative peace between England and France, but also a time of economic struggle for England due to the costs of the ongoing Hundred Years' War. Despite these challenges, the ¼ Noble coin remained a popular denomination and was widely used in trade and commerce.
