1 Noble - Henry V class D

Henry V's nobles were struck against the backdrop of the Agincourt campaign and the subsequent Treaty of Troyes, which made him heir to the French throne. The class D attribution within his noble series reflects die-study classifications established by twentieth-century scholarship rather than any administrative division at the Tower mint itself.

North 1372 places this comfortably within a well-documented sequence, though die-matching across Henry V nobles remains an active area of research. The treaty of 1420 fundamentally altered English monetary ambitions on the continent, driving demand for high-value gold coinage in cross-Channel commerce.
