EDWARD I

GROATS & HALFS

Under Edward III (1327-77), Groats and Halfgroats were struck under his Fourth Coinage from 1351 up until 1377.

There are several different periods within these dates which divide the coinage into different groups, and the features of the coins during these different periods are briefly described below. However, the website given on the introduction page to this section is easy to read and comprehensive in its discussion of Edward III Groats, and the link can be found again below.

The Halfgroats of Edward III are very similar to the Groats of his reign and because of this the article discussing the Groats of Edward III can easily be used in helping to identify Halfgroats as well.
