| Aanvullende informatie |
Edward III's claim to the French throne — asserted formally in 1337 and the opening provocation of the Hundred Years' War — made his coinage in Aquitaine a pointed political instrument. These groschen were struck during the period immediately following the catastrophic French defeat at Crécy in 1346, when English military dominance over the duchy was at its peak and Edward was consolidating control over his continental holdings.
The Black Death reached Aquitaine in 1348, collapsing trade networks and disrupting mint operations across the region. Surviving examples frequently show uneven striking, a predictable consequence of workforce attrition at the mints rather than any systematic die failure.
