Hammered gold specialists...can you attribute?

coinlieutenant

Hello all. I have always loved hammered gold, but never seem to be able to find any. This piece came in today to a local dealer friend and I promptly snatched it up.

I went to attribute and I cant find any pieces in auction that match this quarter noble pattern. It has the ringlets bezeling the shield instead of the florets.

Any thoughts?

It matches the Quarter-Noble of Edward III on CoinArchives.

I'm far from being an expert but I'd say VF (30 or 35 ??)

I'd take the pics and question to the guys on Coinsgb.com; there are a couple of experts (or close to it!) on hammered coinage over there. good luck

Thanks for the recommendation Doogy. You can find the forum here:

I am a milled collector myself but if you post a picture I'm sure someone (possibly Clive, Rob or Scottishmoney) will be able to help more.

I'll take a shot at it being an Edward III quarter Noble, fourth coinage, transitional period (1361 a.d.).

Many varieties exist. Yours has eight arcs to the treasure ( around the shield) in the obverse. Which dates it between 1351-1377

Edited to add. Nice coin.
