Asked on March 25, 2021 in American english.
In America, it is two cents, not two pence. Only countries that have pound use the word pence, as far as I know. If there is a percentage of a virtual gold currency worth a penny, it is worth a dollar instead of pence. And those that do use pennies when they are referring to a number of physical coins worth a penny each, but pence when it is referring to a sum of money irrespective of which coins it is represented in.

I don’t know about your terminology, so perhaps my analysis won’t be of use, but this is how I’d parse your example according to traditional grammar.
no matter the season : these features present…
The “no matter” phrase is an elliptical clause to be completed hypothetically as above It is simply an independent main clause —no part of the co-ordinate main clause “these features present”. I agree that parsing this phrase is problematic and that other labels are possible.
