| Beschrijving voorzijde | Crowned facing effigy of Henry VI, depicted with flowing hair falling to either side of the face, wearing an ornate trefoil-topped crown. A trefoil or leaf ornament appears below the bust at the chin, with a pinecone to the left and mascle to the right flanking the neck within the inner circle — the distinctive privy marks identifying this issue. The bust is rendered in the characteristic flat, stylised Gothic manner typical of early 15th-century English hammered coinage, set within a plain inner circle. The surrounding legend in uncial Latin script reads HENRIC DI GRA REX ANGL Z FRANC, separated by the privy marks of the Pinecone-mascle issue. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The pinecone-mascle issue takes its name from the two privy marks used sequentially at the London and Calais mints during this short window — a pinecone followed by a mascle, a voided lozenge shape. Privy marks of this period weren't decorative; they were administrative tools allowing the Tower to date batches of coin and identify responsible moneyers if silver content or weight came under scrutiny.
Henry VI's minority government was still managing the monetary fallout from years of French war expenditure. The Calais mint, supplied directly by continental bullion flows, often struck in greater volume than London during these years.
