Comment
House of Plantagenet (1154-1399), Richard II (1377-99). Quarter-noble struck in the style of Edward III, Type IIIA.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ¼ Noble - Richard II (type IIIA) ND (1377-1399) coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in England. The coin was issued during the reign of King Richard II, who was known for his ambitious economic policies, including the introduction of a new coinage system. The ¼ Noble coin was part of this new system and was designed to be a more accessible alternative to the traditional gold noble coin. Despite its smaller size and value, the ¼ Noble coin still featured the same level of craftsmanship and detail as its larger counterpart, making it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
