| Additional information |
Richard II's noble series continued the denominational structure established by Edward III, but his reign saw considerable die variation and the gradual refinement of the IB classification — distinguished primarily by differences in the treatment of the initial mark and letter forms that allow specialists to sequence issues within the reign. The quarter noble saw relatively limited circulation compared to the full noble, functioning more as a high-value accounting piece than everyday exchange currency.
Spink 1673 and North 1318 together cover a span of emission spanning the entire 22-year reign, ending with Richard's forced abdication in favor of Henry Bolingbroke in 1399.
