| Additional information |
Edward IV's second reign saw Durham's ecclesiastical mint operating under the authority of Bishop Lawrence Booth, which is why surviving examples from this period carry a distinctive mark differentiating them from Royal Mint production. The Bishop of Durham held ancient palatinate rights to strike coin — a privilege jealously maintained through repeated jurisdictional negotiations with the Crown.
North 1652 encompasses several sub-varieties distinguished by their mint marks and the presence or absence of a trefoil on the breast, details that matter considerably when attributing individual pieces.
