Comment
House of Plantagenet (1154-1399), Edward III (1327-77), Fourth coinage (1351-77), Pre-treaty period (1351-61), Series D, London mint.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.
