Overview

Historical significance

This coin belongs to the Annulet Issue of Henry VI, struck during his minority when he was a child king. The annulets were a mint mark used to distinguish coins of this period. This era was significant for the ongoing Hundred Years' War and the political instability within England.

Estimated value

Highly variable, ranging from $100 to over $1,000, depending on its specific mint mark, condition, and rarity. This particular coin appears to be in fair to good condition, suggesting a mid-range value.

Care & preservation

Handle by the edges to avoid transferring oils from your skin. Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in an inert, archival-safe holder (e.g., Mylar flip or coin slab). Do not clean the coin, as cleaning can significantly decrease its numismatic value and damage its historical patina.
