Comment
House of Plantagenet (1154-1399), Richard II (1377-99). Noble struck in the style of Edward III.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Noble coin from Richard II's reign is that it was one of the first English coins to feature a portrait of the king. This was a departure from the previous standard of depicting the king in a more symbolic or abstract manner, and marked a shift towards more realistic representations of royalty on coins.
