| Beschrijving voorzijde | Facing crowned royal bust with annulets flanking the neck, rendered in the stylised Gothic manner characteristic of early Lancastrian hammered coinage. The king is depicted with a simple crown and schematic facial features typical of the period. A circular legend in uncial Latin characters surrounds the effigy, punctuated by double saltire stops. The overall composition is centred within the irregularly shaped flan. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Annulet issue marks the opening coinage of Henry VI's first reign, struck simultaneously at London and Calais — the latter mint operating under English control as part of the Crown's grip on its French territories following Agincourt. The annulets distinguishing this issue from later ones appear at the neck and in two quarters of the reverse, placed there as mint-control marks to differentiate Calais production from London's output.
Calais held a legal monopoly on English wool exports to the continent, and the mint there existed partly to recycle bullion payments flowing through that trade. Henry was nine months old when this issue began.
