Gold noble of Edward III, Series Gb/c (AY/7-8, boat 2/3), Pre-Treaty, 1355-1361. In uncertain times people hid their savings. This is a coin from a hoard of gold and silver coins that were 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.
