One of the first widely circulated gold coins in England was the English gold noble. Introduced by the famous Middle Ages monarch King Edward III, one of the kingdom’s longest-reigning monarchs still to this day in British history. The Noble design concept reappeared in the 21st century on Isle of Man bullion coins from Pobjoy Mint. Today, 2018 1 oz Isle of Man Gold Noble coins are available to you online from JM Bullion.

The noble coin was introduced during the second coinage action of King Edward III between 1344 and 1346. The coins were preceded in England by the gold penny and the florin, but the noble was far more popular and more widely available throughout the kingdom. It was so popular, in fact, that derivatives of the noble were released in the form of half noble and quarter noble coins.

On the obverse of 2018 Isle of Man Gold Noble coins, you will find the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II. Created by Jody Clark exclusively for the Pobjoy Mint, this design includes the Queen’s neckline and shoulders in the portrait as she wears the George IV State Diadem on her head. This crown is worn only during the State Opening of Parliament.
The reverse face of 2018 1 oz Isle of Man Gold Noble Coins comes with the image of a Viking longship sailing on calm waters as four birds fly nearby. The historic English gold nobles introduced by King Edward III featured an English naval vessel with a front-facing relief of King Edward III with a sword and shield bearing the royal arms.
King Edward III’s gold noble coins were adjusted several times in terms of size, weight, face value, and even design. The coins underwent changes in King Edward III’s third coinage between 1346 and 1351 and again during the fourth coinage between 1351 and 1377.
