Edward III (1327-77) gold Noble ND (1356) MS63 PCGS, London Mint, Pre-Treaty Period, 7.72g, S-1489, N-1173. Crown mm. Crowned king with sword and shield standing facing in ship / Floriate cross with Є in central quadrilobe. A far rarer type of this popular denomination with a crown for the mintmark (one of the first occurrences of a mintmark not taking the form of some variety of cross), giving us the exact date of 1356 for this Noble, rather a novelty for a Medieval coin! The sole certified example by either NGC or PCGS, and very highly certified for the type as a whole. The surfaces of this crisply-struck specimen are superb, particularly the reverse which exhibits radiant luster in the fields cloaking the bold devices in an almost Prooflike effect. The obverse boasts a sharp depiction of Edward aboard his ship, slightly short of flan at the edges but otherwise features all original detail to an admirable degree. A treat to view in-hand, a marvelous Noble.
