Correct ID for Gold Quarter Noble please

Recommended Posts

I have been contacted by email with someone trying to get a correct ID for this coin. Can someone help?

I believe it is an Edward III Quarter Noble and I tend towards S1511 because of the annulet before Edward, but I can't make the symbol in the centre of the cross look like a "Lis". Nor an L, which might make it the much scarcer S1480. It doesn't look like an E either - anyone able to tell me?

I know the pictures are not great - the best the owner can achieve. I may get to see it in hand next week, but until then any help appreciated.

Thanks - I may get to own it, but I need to do my homework first!

Yes, I'd go S1511 too. Ticks all the boxes - Annulet before EDWARD DEI GRA REX ANGL (no French title), Barred A in GLORIA, saltire stops. I think I can make out a lis in the central panel. The shape will be as on the shield, bottom right quarter bottom lis, rather than have looped side fleurs. A bit like a cactus. On the top image the initial cross is at 10 o'clock, then reads EXALTABITVR IN GLORIA.

The top image makes it look horribly cleaned. :(  These aren't rare, so go for a better one if it looks too rubbed.

Thanks for that @Rob - I am glad I was on the right track.

If I get to buy it, it will not be for my collection, as I don't do gold, but to sell on. I have a number of non-professional collectors that visit me regularly and would love to have something like this in their rather random selections. All depends on how much the current owner is prepared to accept for it.

Beaten to the pass - another dealer has offered him £650, which I think is too high, so no deal for me.
