Quarter noble of Edward III

Lots of detectorists are the same as me, in that they have never had the pleasure of unearthing a hammered gold coin. However, a reasonably high number of detectorists have been lucky enough to dig up a specimen similar to the one pictured here, which is a quarter noble of Edward III.

Stephen Palmer is the finder and, as is the case with most Edward III quarter nobles, the coin was struck during the treaty period (1361-69). It was struck at London and in the centre of the reverse is a fleur de lis. I initially thought the latter was a quatrefoil but after greatly enlarging the centre of the reverse it turned out to be a fleur de lis.

Valuation

The coin is slightly short of flan and has a few scuffs and scratches but it is otherwise in Fine condition, so shouldn’t be worth any less than £300.
