About this item
This is a medieval Anglo-Gallic hammered silver Hardi D'Argent, of Edward the Black Prince. It was struck at the Limoges mint in France from 1362 - 1372. It depicts Prince Edward standing beneath a canopy, he wears a coronet of a simple band around his head (as opposed to the crown of a king). He is holding a sword with his right hand and pointing to it with his left. The message to his French subjects seems pretty clear!
