GREAT BRITAIN. Groat, ND (1412-13). London Mint; mm: cross pattee. Henry IV. PCGS VF-25.
cf. S-1726/S-1681 (for obv./rev.); N-1358 (ER). Light coinage. Obverse: Crowned facing bust within tressure of arches with trefoils at cusps; altered die of Richard II, pellet and annulet to left and right of crown; Reverse: Long cross pattee; trefoils in quarters; no slipped trefoil, barred Ns. A VERY RAREand highly desirable muling, this pleasantly toned example boasts a tremendous pedigree as well. Undoubtedly a piece for the connoisseur of advanced hammered issues and their variants.
Though England had been ruled by Normans for over three centuries after William the Conqueror, Henry IV was the first to natively speak English. His reign was not marred by many external conflicts, as there was a brief hiatus in the Hundred Years War. Despite this, Henry had to crush several internal rebellions, including one by Glyndwr who claimed to be the Prince of Wales. By the end of his reign, Henry was suffering a number of ailments and his short and relatively quiet for the time reign was limited to 14 years.
