Additional information

Class 3g sits within a brief window of Edward I's coinage reform program, the most systematic overhaul of English silver currency since the Norman Conquest. The classification system for Edward's farthings — running through multiple classes and subclasses — reflects decades of scholarly die study, much of it built on Shirley-Fox's early 20th-century work and refined through hoard evidence. The 3g designation itself hinges on subtle lettering and crown variations that required assembling large numbers of finds before the sequence could be fixed with confidence.
