1199 SILVER HALF GROAT JOHN LONDON

A remarkable half croat minted in London during the reign of King John I in 1199. This medieval coin represents a pivotal moment in English monetary history, issued during the early years of John's tumultuous reign. The London mint mark confirms its provenance and authenticity, making it a significant specimen for serious collectors. Medieval coinage of this period is increasingly scarce, particularly examples in identifiable condition. This piece offers genuine historical substance, connecting directly to the turbulent late 12th-century English crown. An essential acquisition for those focused on early Plantagenet numismatics and the evolution of English coinage standards.
