Comment
House of Plantagenet, Edward III (1327-77), Fourth coinage (1351-77), Treaty period (1361-69), 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 economic and political change in England. The coin was issued during the Treaty period, which saw England and France agree to a peace treaty after years of conflict, leading to an increase in trade and commerce between the two nations. This increase in trade and commerce led to a growth in the economy and the need for a new coinage system, which included the ½ Noble coin. The coin's design, which features a crowned king on one side and a cross on the other, symbolizes the power and influence of the English monarchy during this time.
