1/2 noble (1346-1351)

Edward III gold 1/2 Noble ND (1346-1351) MS64 NGC, S-1482, N-1111. 3.82gm. Third Coinage, third period. One of the earliest emissions of British gold, a very rare type knowing only a handful of extant examples across the British Museum and private collections. The specimen at hand is the only certified at NGC, boasting a soaring near-Gem grade. Twinkling luster rises from the surfaces during in-hand inspection, elevating the impressive detail still clinging to these age-old devices, particularly on the reverse. Certainly headed to fill a gap in a curated cabinet of British gold.

Metal: Gold
