Interesting GOLD fragment.from 14th Century.

[oldsoapy]

Found last Friday, a small fragment of Hammered gold. Blank on one side due to damage by farm machinery. But some design and letters on the other side. being:: E*TVO*A. not very much to go by. but on searching through Latin inscriptions for coins from medieval times, l found one to fit.
DOMINE NE IN FURORE*TVO*ARGUAS ME. which was first used on Half Nobles in the reign of EDWARD 3rd. The fragment is 0.5gram and the complete coin would be 4grams so l have only found one eighth of the full coin. So by my reasoning it's Half Noble of Edward 3rd.

Edward III Half Noble Gold Coin

Great find! I don't see why that shouldn't be on the banner as every relatively modern US gold coin makes it. This hammered gold piece is old! I hope you are able to find the remainder.

I think I'd cry tears of joy if I ever found something that old and beautiful. Does this fall under the Treasure Act? Yeah, I know dumb Yank question.

I think your right on the ID, I got a Dutch imitation of the Ed III Half Noble. Never had anything Hammered Gold since, probably never will.

That field might have other wholes ones in it, worth a good effort.

Congrats on the gold! Too bad it's broken....but even a piece of hammered gold is a great find!
