Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Noble coin from the Pre-Treaty period is that it was issued during a time of great economic and political change in England. The coin was minted during the reign of King Edward III, who ruled from 1327 to 1377, and it was part of a series of coins that were introduced to address the economic challenges of the time, including inflation and a shortage of coinage. The 1 Noble coin was made of gold and weighed 7.7 grams, making it a valuable and highly sought-after coin among collectors today.
