| Opschrift voorzijde | ED REX AnGLIE (Translation: Edward, king of England...) |
| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse features a stylized leopard or lion passant gardant — the heraldic emblem of the Duchy of Aquitaine and the English royal house — positioned centrally within a beaded inner circle. The creature is rendered in the schematic, flat style characteristic of 14th-century Anglo-Gascon billon coinage. The surrounding legend in uncial Latin reads DVX AQITAnIE G, proclaiming Edward's title as Duke of Aquitaine. The beaded inner circle is clearly defined, and the outer edge of the flan is irregular, consistent with hand-hammered production. The reverse type, combining the ducal title with the heraldic beast, asserts both Edward's political authority and his feudal claim over Gascony. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Edward III's claim to Aquitaine was inherited through his mother Isabella and complicated almost immediately by the outbreak of the Hundred Years' War in 1337. These billon deniers were struck to serve local circulation in Gascony, a territory whose political loyalty Edward had to maintain through practical governance as much as military force — coinage being one of the more visible instruments of that governance. The decade-long span of this type reflects periods of both English dominance and severe pressure from the French crown.
The Spink 8031 attribution places this among a series of Aquitainian issues that specialists frequently struggle to sequence precisely within the 1327–1362 window.
