One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of King Edward III, who ruled England from 1327 to 1377. This coin was part of his third coinage, which was introduced in 1344 and featured a new design that included a crowned bust of the king on the obverse (front) side, and a long cross with three pelicans on the reverse (back) side. The coin was made of silver (.925) and weighed 1.19 grams. It was minted at the Canterbury mint, which was one of the major mints in England at the time.
