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

That's a really small piece and it shows your on the game to pick it up, good luck on the return hunts to find the rest which would be cool.
