The historic Noble gold coin, also known as the “Noble,” was a significant English coin that circulated during the medieval and early modern periods. It was introduced by King Edward III of England in 1344 and remained in use until the early 17th century. In the 1980s, the Isle of Man revived the Noble as a commemorative gold bullion coin series.

The Noble was a large and impressive gold coin that held a high value. It featured a portrait of the reigning monarch on the obverse side, typically depicted in a standing position wearing regal attire and holding a scepter or sword. The reverse side often displayed a beautiful and intricate ship, symbolizing the importance of English naval power.
While the Noble ceased production in the early 17th century, its legacy and influence can still be seen today. The coin’s design and characteristics have inspired modern commemorative coins and replicas, keeping the memory of this historic English gold coin alive.
In the obverse design of the 2023 1/2 Gram Proof Gold Noble Coin, you will find the effigy of King Charles III. The first appearance of the King on the coins in this series, this portrait is a left-profile relief that was created by Martin Jennings in late 2022.
For the reverse design of 2023 Proof Isle of Man Gold Nobles, the mint features a unique image of naval power. In this case, you’ll find the Viking longship, a sight that struck terror in the hearts of Europeans between the 9th and 11th centuries as the Vikings marauded along the coastlines of the British Isles and Europe.
These 2023 1/2 Gram Proof Isle of Man Gold Noble Coins are available as proof specimens with frosted designs and mirrored fields. Each coin is housed in a protective capsule for delivery and comes with a limited issue.
