Piedforts are coins which have been specially struck on thicker than normal blanks. As their name suggests they are closely associated with France, where from the twelfth century they were apparently issued by the Kings as presentation pieces.In Britain, the practice of striking piedforts is later and less frequent, but medieval and Tudor examples are known. The name ‘Piedfort’ (Pee-ay-fore) comes from the French word meaning ‘heavy measure'.
