When King Charles VI had died in Paris on October 31, 1422, both his son Charles VII and the young King Henri VI of England claimed the French crown. His mother was Catherine of Valois, daughter of Charles VI. But England soon had lost momentum in the Hundred Year's War, while, beginning with Joan of Arc's military victories, Charles VII gained ground. Even the death of Joan of Arc couldn't prevent the defeat of Henri VI. who was said to have gone insane. After many struggles he even lost power in England. Henri VI was imprisoned in the Tower of London, where he was murdered eventually. The legend on the coin reads: DEI GRA HENRICVS FRANCORV AGLIE REX E Henri by grace of God King of France and England XPC VINCIT XPC REGNAT XPC IMPERAT Christ wins, Christ reigns, Christ commands
