| Additional information |
The Double Hardi was the workhorse silver of English Aquitaine, minted continuously through a half-century that saw the Lancastrian dynasty push deep into France, lose nearly everything at Agincourt's aftermath, and finally surrender Bordeaux in 1453 — ending three hundred years of English rule in Gascony. Production ran across mints at Bordeaux, Bazas, Dax, and Libourne, among others, making attribution to a specific reign genuinely difficult without die study.
The fall of Bordeaux to Charles VII that October effectively ended this coinage type entirely.
