Very fine | ENGLAND. Edward III, 1327-77.
Gold Quarter-noble, ND (1361-1369). Tower Mint.
The noble was the first English gold coin produced in major quantity, introduced during the second coinage of King Edward III. Before the noble, the gold penny and the florin were minted during the reign of King Henry III and the beginning of Edward III's. While these predecessors saw little circulation, the derivatives of the noble--the half noble and quarter noble here--were produced in quantity and were very popular.
Shield of arms within tressure with trefoils on cusps, legend around. Legend translates: Edward, King of England, by the grace of God. / Lis in centre of Royal Cross within tressure, lions in angles, legend around. Legend translates: I shall be exalted in glory.
GLORIA, CURULE X, double saltires after.
Struck on heavily worn dies.

Very fine.
