Anglo-Gallic, Edward III, 25 January 1327 – 21 June 1377

|France|, |Anglo-Gallic,| |Edward| |III,| |25| |January| |1327| |–| |21| |June| |1377||obole| |au| |lion|
The Aquitanian title on both sides seems to suggest this coin was struck c. 1325 - 1326, when Edward III was Duke of Aquitaine but not yet King of England, but Elias dates the type the second half of the 1350's based on style. This type and similar billon Anglo-Gallic coins looked silver when issued, but after some use turned black, hence their nickname, "black money." They were usually hastily and poorly struck, heavily circulated and worn, and seldom hoarded. Surviving examples are now rare and mostly low grade. This type is very rare.
ME112522. Billon obole au lion, Elias 110c (RR), Duplessy Féodales 1109 var. (obv. title ED':REX: ARGLIE), Boudeau 503 var.

England, King Cnut, 1016 - 1035 A.D.

|England|, |England,| |King| |Cnut,| |1016| |-| |1035| |A.D.||penny|
Cnut the Great was a king of Denmark, England, Norway, and parts of Sweden. He maintained power by uniting Danes and Englishmen under cultural bonds of wealth and custom, rather than by brutality. After the death of his heirs within a decade of his own and the Norman conquest of England in 1066, his legacy was largely lost to history.

England, Henry VII, 1485 - 1509

|England|, |England,| |Henry| |VII,| |1485| |-| |1509||groat|
During Henry's early years, his uncle Henry VI was fighting against Edward IV, a member of the Yorkist Plantagenet branch. After Edward retook the throne in 1471, Henry Tudor spent 14 years in exile in Brittany. He attained the throne when his forces, supported by France, Scotland, and Wales, defeated Edward IV's brother Richard III at the Battle of Bosworth Field, the culmination of the Wars of the Roses. He was the last king of England to win his throne on the field of battle. He cemented his claim by marrying Elizabeth of York, daughter of King Edward.

England and Ireland, Edward I Longshanks, 20 November 1272 – 7 July 1307 (Lord of Ireland from 1254)

|Ireland|, |England| |and| |Ireland,| |Edward| |I| |Longshanks,| |20| |November| |1272| |–| |7| |July| |1307| |(Lord| |of| |Ireland| |from| |1254)||penny|
Edward I was a tall man for his era, at 6'2" (1.88 m), hence the nickname "Longshanks." In 1254 his father granted him most of Ireland. Edward was on the 9th crusade when the Mamluk sultan Baibars sent an assassin to kill him. Although Edward killed the assassin, he was struck in the arm by a dagger, perhaps poisoned, and became severely ill. He was in Sicily on his way home when his father died. Edward was proclaimed king after his father's death, rather than at his own coronation, as had until then been customary. Edward was ruthless in pursuing his aims and crushing those who opposed him. After rebellion in Wales, he built a series of castles and towns in the countryside and settled them with English. Edward attempted the conquest of Scotland and had some success but rebellion continued. After Philip IV of France (a Scottish ally) confiscated the Duchy of Gascony, Edward went to war with France. He recovered his duchy but the conflict relieved military pressure against Scotland. When the Edward I died, his son Edward II was left with an ongoing war with Scotland and many financial and political problems.

Silver penny, SCBC-SII 6264; SCBI 22 357 - 359, gF, toned, clashed dies, light marks, parts of legends weak, weight 1.340 g, maximum diameter 18.8 mm, die axis 180o, Dublin mint, 1297 - 1302; obverse EDW R - ANGL' D-NS hYB (Edwardus, Rex Angliae, Dominus Hibernie - Edward King of England, Lord of Ireland, small letters), crowned bust facing, in a triangle, one pellet below bust; reverse CIVI-TAS - DVBL-INIE (City of Dublin, large letters), long cross pattée, three pellets in each quadrant; SOLD
