Comment
House of Plantagenet, Edward III (1327-77), Fourth coinage (1351-77), Treaty period (1361-69), London mint.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ¼ Noble coin from Edward III's reign is that it was minted during a time of economic and political change in England. The coin was issued during the Treaty period, which saw England and France agree to a peace treaty after years of conflict, leading to increased trade and economic growth. This coin, made of gold and weighing 1.89g, would have been a valuable and coveted item during this time, symbolizing the prosperity and stability of the English monarchy.
