| Aanvullende informatie |
Edward VI's third coinage of 1551–1553 marked England's first official sixpence as a denomination — the coin did not exist under Henry VIII. The issue was part of a sweeping recoinage designed to restore trust after the catastrophic debasements of the 1540s, when the crown had systematically stripped silver content to fund wars and plug fiscal shortfalls. York operated as a provincial mint specifically to accelerate that recoinage throughput.
York-mint examples of this type are considerably scarcer than their London counterparts. The mint closed shortly after Edward's death in July 1553.
