Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Noble coin from Edward III's reign is that it was issued during a time of economic and political turmoil in England. The coin was minted in Calais, which was an English possession at the time, and it features a unique design that sets it apart from other coins of the period. Despite being made of gold, the coin was not widely accepted in England due to its unusual weight and purity, and it is now considered a rare and valuable collector's item.
