Edward III ruled from 25 January 1327 until 21 June 1377, a reign of more than 50 years. He was considered a great military leader and made England one of the most powerful countries in Europe. Sometimes known as Edward of Windsor.
Edward was born at Windsor Castle on 13 November 1312 to King Edward II and Isabella of France. Edward II was disposed in 1327 and Edward III became King at the age of 14. His mother Isabella and her lover Roger Mortimer initially ruled as Regent but at 17 Edward III established himself as ruler.
Edward married Philippa of Hainault and over the next 25 years had eight sons and five daughters. He outlived his eldest son, Edward the Black Prince (also a great commander), and the throne eventually passed to his grandson Richard II.
Edward III coins were initially based on the coinage of his Grandfather, King Edward I. The greater majority of Edward III coins are the penny, halfpenny and groat, but during his long reign he introduced several new coins. Gold coins appeared after 1344. The gold Edward III double-florin (double-leopard) is one of the rarest British coins as is the gold florin, both can obtain high six-figure evaluations. The early gold Noble is also up there.
