One interesting fact about the ½ Noble - Richard II (London mint; type IB) ND (1377-1399) coin is that it features a unique design element known as a "quatrefoil" on the reverse side. A quatrefoil is a four-leafed clover-like shape that is formed by the intersection of four circles. This design element was used in the Middle Ages to symbolize the four Gospels and the four Evangelists. The use of the quatrefoil on this coin adds to its historical and cultural significance, making it a fascinating piece for collectors and historians alike.
