Just recently a metal detecting hobbyist in the United Kingdom came across the find of a lifetime. They found a stunning specimen of a 1415 Gold hammered noble. They said that it was a cracking day, and the opportunity to find their first gold hammered noble had made their day and year.
The noble was the first English gold coin produced in quantity, having been preceded by the gold penny and the florin earlier in the reigns of King Henry III and King Edward III, which saw little circulation. The derivatives of the noble, the half noble and quarter noble, on the other hand, were produced in quantity and were very popular.
