Comment
House of Plantagenet (1154-1399), Edward III (1327-77), Fourth coinage (1351-77), Pre-treaty period (1351-61).Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the Pre-treaty period, which means it was produced before the Treaty of Brétigny in 1360, which established a new standard for coinage in England. This coin, therefore, represents a unique moment in the history of English coinage.
