FOOTNOTES:
The trefoil issue halfgroat is only known from two reverse dies muled with a single leaf-trefoil obverse die. David Greenhalgh in his study published as The Galata Guide to Medieval Halfgroats lists three known specimens of this particular coin and die combination; one in each of the British and Fitzwilliam Museums and one (present location unknown) from the Reigate Hoard; this is the fourth known example.
