Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'I received your’s. I know no other marks for the distinguishing the three Henries, viz. the 4th, 5th, and 6th, but those I told you of at Bishopsthorp, since I last came down; whether they will hold or no, I know not, but I see the curious at London have no better. I have a penny with the three crowns, which, from Speed, I always took to be Edward the Fourth’s, though his name be not upon it. The quartering the arms of France and England upon it, and the number of the fleur-de-lis being no more than three, show that it must be stamped about that time. As for your other Edward the Fourth’s groat, you may know whether it belongs to him or the Third Edward by the weight. For Edward the Fourth’s groats weigh the same that Henry Sixth and Henry Seventh’s do, viz. something more than 61⁄2 d. of our present money; whereas Edward Third’s groats weigh almost our ten pence.' (Hunter 1832, vol. 1, pp. 319-20; Burnett 2020b, pp. 867, 894)
