Gold half-noble of Edward III, Class a, 59.5 grains. In uncertain times people hid their savings. This is a coin from a hoard of gold and silver coins that was buried at Beulah Hill, Upper Norwood, south London. They totalled £5 7 shillings and 5 pence, which would have bought a horse and was more than a farm labourer could earn in two years.
