Henry V is best known for his famous victory at Agincourt, at the end of a long and arduous campaign which saw him come close to conquering France. After negotiations had finished with Charles VI of France and the signing of the 'Treaty of Troyes' Henry was recognised as Regent and apparent heir to the throne of France. However, this claim was short-lived as Henry suddenly died two years later leaving his 9-month-old son King of England. As his reign was short very little coinage exist.

First introduced during the reign of Edward III, the Noble had a value of 6s. 8d. (approximately 35 pence). This hammered coin was the father of all our modern gold coinage. These are impressive coins, and we have the quarter Noble that represent an important phase in the history of Britain. The design is different from the half and full Noble.
