1430-1 Henry VI Silver Halfgroat Rossette-Mascle issue. Calais Mint

A collectable grade, hammered silver Half Groat of King Henry VI. This coin was struck during the "Rosette-mascle issue" of 1430 to 1431. Easily identified by a "Rose" and "mascle" (leaf shape) appearing on both sides of the coin. The reverse has the long cross with pellets to the centre, and the wording indicates being struck at the Calais mint in France. Even-toned, with excellent bold face details. Minor historic edge clipping, which is common for the time, and two small edge nicks left of the crown, otherwise a bold coin.
