Additional information

Edward III's groat series is divided with unusual precision by modern numismatists largely because of the 1351 Statute of Provisors and the associated monetary ordinances that redefined English coin weights mid-reign. Series C of the Pre-treaty period is distinguished by its annulet stops and specific letterings that allow die-linking across a surprisingly well-documented sequence. The 4th coinage itself was prompted by Edward's need to align English silver with continental denominations during his ongoing financing of campaigns in France.

North 1147 specimens frequently show flatness on the inner legend owing to the relatively shallow die cutting employed at this stage — a known characteristic of the series, not wear.
