1471 GROAT EDWARD IV LONDON MINT

A notable groat issued in 1471 from the London mint during Edward IV's reign. This silver coin was produced during the Wars of the Roses, a period of considerable political upheaval in medieval England. The groat served as a principal silver denomination, facilitating substantial commercial transactions across the realm. This example demonstrates the consistent quality of London mint production under Edward IV's monetary administration, bearing his portrait and royal insignia with characteristic precision. An important acquisition for serious collectors of 15th-century English coinage, this piece offers tangible insight into the numismatic practices and economic conditions of the late medieval period, whilst commemorating one of England's most militarily ambitious monarchs.
