Edward III (1327-1377), fourth coinage, Treaty period, Noble, London, mm. cross potent, EDWARD DEI GRA REX ANGL DNS HYB Z AQT, king standing facing in ship, holding sword and shield, rev. + IHC AVTEM TRANSIENS PER MEDIV ILLORVM IBAT, floriate cross with lis at ends, wt. 7.33gms. (cf. Schneider 75-76, both with saltire before edward; N. -; S.1502; L. A. Lawrence: 1933 Numismatic Chronicle, pp. 15-79 , plate XV11:4), good very fine, an extremely rare variety
The obverse die was mis-described by Lawrence. He reported that it had an annulet before EDWARD and a crescent on the forecastle, although it has neither. Thus, although the coin is from the same die as the coin illustrated in Lawrence, it does not match Lawrence's description in the text. When North was preparing his book he presumably followed the text in Lawrence. This variety is unlisted by North as he records all Treaty period nobles of London (North 1231-1233) having either a saltire or an annulet before EDWARD.
