Description
Fantastic Gem Mint Pre-Treaty Noble
Edward III (1327-1377) gold Noble ND (1356-1361) MS66 NGC,
Tower mint, S-1490, N-1181. 7.73gm. Cross 3 mm. Fourth coinage,
Pre-Treaty Period, Series G. Є x | DWΛRD x DЄI x GRΛ x RЄX x ΛIIGL
x F (retrograde) x FRΛIIC x D hy | B (annulet stops), Edward
standing facing in ship, shield in left hand, sword in right //
+IhC x ΛVTЄm x TRΛIICIЄIIS x P x mЄDIVm x ILLORVm x IBΛT (annulet
stops), large floriate cross with Є at center, crowned lions in
angles, all within polylobe with trefoils in spandrels.A masterful example of this iconic English gold issue that is among the earliest types in this metal available to collectors of British coinage. The obverse displays quite a bit of die rust that was imparted to the surfaces, but it's clear from examination this piece is pretty much still in pristine, as-struck condition. The reverse gives a better indication of the conditional superiority, as there is no die rust to obscure its immaculate nature, and one can't help but notice the practically perfect centering of that side's strike. This is one of only two Pre-Treaty Edward III Nobles awarded with an MS66 by NGC, an awesome feat that we are sure enthusiasts of the series will notice and gravitate towards.
