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 introduced as part of a new currency system established by Edward III in 1361, which aimed to stabilize the country's economy after years of inflation and monetary instability. The ¼ Noble coin was one of the first coins to be minted in gold, and it was used as a means of payment for high-value transactions. Despite its small size, the coin was highly valued and widely used throughout England and its territories.
