Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Noble coin from Edward III's reign is that it was one of the first English coins to feature a portrait of the king. This was a departure from previous coins, which had typically featured a simple cross or other design. The portrait of Edward III on the 1 Noble coin was a sign of the growing power and influence of the English monarchy during this period.
