Description: | This is a magnificent example of a hammered gold quarter noble (the ferling noble at 1s 8p) of Edward III (1327-77). In this case, the coin is from the fourth coinage of 1351-77. It does not carry the French title of the pre treaty coins. The mint mark of a type 3 cross, further dates this coin to 1356-61.
The obverse design is of a shield quartered with the arms of England and France within a tressure of eight arches with lis on cusps of each tressure. The reverse has Ornate floriated cross within a tressure of eight arches; annulet at centre and in each angle of the inner cross with lis on the spandrels of each tressure.
The coin is in excellent condition with the die being very slightly off centre. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Trevaskus, Rod | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
