Comment
Quote wiki:The noble was the first English gold coin produced in quantity, introduced during the second coinage (1344–1346) of King Edward III. It was preceded by the gold penny and the florin, minted during the reign of King Henry III and the beginning of the reign of King Edward III; these saw little circulation. The derivatives of the noble, the half noble and quarter noble, on the other hand, were produced in quantity and were very popular.
The value of the coin was six shillings and eight pence (written 6/8, or 6s.8d., vjs.viijd.), which was equivalent to eighty old pence or one-third of a pound sterling. The weight was changed from issue to issue to maintain this value until 1464 when the value was increased. Throughout the history of this denomination there are many variations of inscription, mintmark, and (to some extent) of design.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique reverse design, showcasing a portrait of King Edward III, who ruled England from 1327 to 1377. This design was chosen to commemorate the 700th anniversary of King Edward III's reign, which is a significant historical event. The coin's design also includes the inscription "King Edward III 1327-1377" and the coat of arms of Tristan da Cunha, adding to its historical and cultural significance.
