Comment
House of Plantagenet, Edward III (1327-77), Fourth coinage (1351-77), Treaty period (1361-69), London mint.The inclusion of France in the royal title was ceased under the Treaty of Bretigny from 1361 until 1369, when the French title was resumed. In the 8 years between, the title included Aquitaine, or no reference to France at all.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Noble coin from Edward III's reign is that it was issued during a time of economic and political turmoil in England. The coin was introduced as part of a new currency system implemented by Edward III in 1361, which aimed to stabilize the country's economy after years of inflation and financial instability. Despite the challenges of its time, the 1 Noble coin remained a popular and trusted form of currency throughout the Treaty period and beyond.
