	Coin Collecting
		The half-florin or leopard and the quarter-florin or helm were also struck and derive their names from the leopard wearing the royal crown and mantle on the former and a helmet with a crest of a royal lion standing on the cap of maintenance on the latter.
		The florin and its fractions were only a short lived issue and in August of the same year the florin was superseded by the noble valued at 6s 8d and its fractions the half and quarter.
		Silver, and later gold coins, were struck at this mint and may be distinguished from those struck at other mints by a variety of marks; the letter `C' on the early gold coins, a flag on the stern of the ship, an annulet on the king's breast and other marks made the identification fairly easy.
