Beschrijving keerzijde A bold long cross pattée extends to the coin's inner circle, dividing the reverse field into four quadrants. Each quadrant contains three pellets arranged in a triangular grouping, a standard device on Lancastrian halfpennies. The mint name legend in uncial Latin lettering is interrupted by the arms of the cross. The flan is irregular and slightly clipped at the edges, consistent with hand-struck medieval silver coinage. The die workmanship reflects the London mint's production standards of the early fifteenth century.

Aanvullende informatie

Henry V's Type D halfpenny belongs to a coinage reform effort driven by chronic short-weight complaints against earlier issues. The London mint was the dominant producer, though output of the halfpenny denomination was always modest relative to the penny — small silver fractions were expensive to produce per unit of face value and wore through quickly in the hands of the laboring poor who needed them most. Survivors in any condition are genuinely scarce.

Henry died at Vincennes in August 1422, mid-campaign, before his French ambitions could be consolidated.
