Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL

Similar to an example in Oman (1974) plate 58, 1650 - 1700, and also examples in Grimwade (1982) from 1703 and 1705, although none are an exact likeness. 1625 - 18th century. External diameter 21mm.

The gem is table-cut and has lost three large chips along one side. The walls of the collet are bent around the gem to hold it in place. They rise from a slightly wider collar decorated with a longitudinal groove. Below this is a larger groove, and then below is the wider base of the bezel which is decorated with a series of transverse (vertical) grooves running around the edge to give a ribbed effect. …

Two quarter nobles found very close together. One is of Edward III, the other of Henry V. They surely represent part of a hoard or purse loss. Some wear as well as scuffing is evident and we might suppose a date of loss or depostion at some point in the mid-15th century. Catalogue Edward III, quarter noble, Treaty Series, North 1243, weight 1.44g (clipped), 1363-9 Henry V, quarter noble, Class C, North 1382, weight 1.72g, 1413-22
