Description: | CatalogueDate of deposition: c. 1420s1: Gold quarter noble of Edward III (1327 - 1377), Treaty Period (transitional series, 1361-3) North 1224 Initial mark: cross potentObverse inscription: EDWAR[D] DEI GRACREX AnGL D (saltire stops)Obverse description: Shield quartered with arms of England and France within treasure of eight archesReverse inscription: EXALTABITVR IN GLORIA (saltire stops)Reverse description: Ornate floriated cross within a treasure of eight arches, pellets in spandrels of tressure; in the centre a small cross potent with annulets in the angles and a pellet in the centre.Dimensions: Diameter 18mm; Weight 1.72gDiscussion: The coin has been clipped around the circumference, thus obscuring the legend.2: Gold quarter noble of Henry V (1413 -1422), Class C, North 1382 (variant Spink 1756)Initial mark: pierced crossObverse inscription: hEnRIC REX AnGL Z FRAnC (saltire stops)Obverse description: Shield quartered with arms of England and France within a treasure of eight arches; lis between two annulets above shield; three annulets to left of shield; an annulet above and one below a mullet to the right of shield. Reverse inscription: EXALTABITVR IN GLORIA (saltire stops)Reverse description: Ornate floriated cross within a treasure of arches; lis in centre; and lis at angles of central panel.Dimensions: Diameter 18mm; Weight 1.78gConclusionThe two coins appear to be of good gold and were found over a small area. The dates of issue of the coins make it reasonable to suppose they were deposited together either as a small hoard or purse loss probably in the 1420s. As such it is our opinion that the coins (2011 T415) qualify as treasure under the Treasure Act 1996.Danielle Wootton, Devon Finds Liaison Officer.Dr John Naylor, National Finds Advisor (Medieval Coins)
