1426 SILVER GROAT HENRY VI

A silver groat from the reign of Henry VI (1422-1461), struck during the early decades of his long and turbulent monarchy. The groat, worth four pence, was a significant denomination in 15th-century English currency and this 1426 example represents the established coinage standards of the period. Henry VI's reign witnessed considerable political upheaval, making coins from his era particularly valued by collectors interested in late medieval English history. Silver groats of this age demonstrate superior craftsmanship and are considerably rarer than their penny counterparts. An important piece for numismatists specialising in Lancastrian coinage or 15th-century English monetary systems, offering tangible insight into the economic landscape of the Wars of the Roses era.
