Comment
House of Plantagenet (1154-1399), Richard II (1377-99). Half-noble struck in the style of Edward III, Type IA.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Noble coin of Richard II (London mint; type IA) is that it was minted during a time of great economic change in England. The coinage reform of 1351, which introduced the Noble and its fractions, was an attempt to stabilize the currency and combat inflation. The ½ Noble coin was a significant denomination in this new system and played an important role in facilitating trade and commerce during this period.
