| Additional information |
Edward III struck this coin at La Rochelle during his administration of Aquitaine, a territory held under perpetual tension with the French crown throughout the Hundred Years' War. La Rochelle was a commercially vital Atlantic port, and maintaining a viable local silver coinage there was as much a political act as an economic one — English-controlled mints in Gascony and Poitou were direct instruments of administrative authority over restless regional populations.
The Elias 75 attribution places this among the documented groschen types struck in the decade following the Treaty of Brétigny negotiations, when English control over southwestern France was at its territorial peak.
