Additional information

Henri V of England struck this coin as nominal King of France following the Treaty of Troyes in 1420 — though the 1419 date places production in the tense months of negotiation immediately preceding that treaty, when English military dominance after Agincourt was being converted into dynastic claim. The agnel type, rooted in Capetian tradition, was a deliberate political choice: adopting an established French royal coin form gave the Lancastrian occupation a veneer of continuity it otherwise entirely lacked.

Dy royales 430 is among the scarcer Anglo-French agnels, with surviving examples thin on the market.
