Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the ½ Noble coin from Henry VI's reign is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in England. Henry VI was the king of England from 1422 to 1461, and his reign was marked by the Wars of the Roses, a series of civil wars that were fought between the houses of Lancaster and York. Despite this turmoil, the coinage of Henry VI's reign remained consistent, with the ½ Noble being one of the most widely used coins during this time.
