Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Noble - Henry V (class A) ND (1413-1422) coin is that it features a unique design element - a small shield on the reverse side, which is not present on other coins of the same denomination and era. This shield is believed to represent the coat of arms of Henry V's wife, Catherine of Valois, and its presence on the coin may indicate that it was minted specifically for use in the royal court or as a gift to a high-ranking official.
