One interesting fact about the ¼ Noble - Edward III (Pre-treaty period; class E) ND (1354-1355) coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in England. The coin was issued during the reign of King Edward III, who ruled from 1327 to 1377, and was part of a series of coins minted during his reign to help finance his military campaigns and infrastructure projects. The ¼ Noble coin was equivalent to one-fourth of a Noble, which was a gold coin introduced by King Edward III in 1351 as a new standardized currency to replace the various local currencies that were in use across England. The ¼ Noble coin was made of gold and had a value of 60 pence, which was a significant amount of money at the time. Despite its value, the coin was not widely used and was primarily minted for ceremonial purposes, such as for the king's coronation and other royal events. Today, the ¼ Noble - Edward III (Pre-treaty period; class E) ND (1354-1355) coin is a rare and highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists and historians.
