Comment
House of Plantagenet (1154-1399), Edward III (1327-77), Fourth coinage (1351-77), Pre-treaty period (1351-61), Series E, London mint.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Noble coin from England, minted during the reign of Edward III (1354-1355), is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the royal arms of England, France, and Ireland, which symbolizes the claim of the English monarchs to the French throne. This coin was issued during the Pre-Treaty period, before the signing of the Treaty of Brétigny in 1360, which marked the end of the first phase of the Hundred Years' War between England and France.
