During the 14th and 15th centuries, the most notable English gold coin was the noble. Introduced in the late 14th century under King Edward III, the noble typically weighed about 6.78 grams and featured a depiction of the king on one side and the royal arms on the other. This coin was widely used in trade and was a standard for value in England until it was eventually replaced by newer denominations. The period also saw the introduction of the angel, another significant gold coin, particularly during the reign of Henry VII.

The "Angel" was a gold coin first introduced into England by Edward IV in 1465. The coin came from France where it was known as an "Angelot". It was briefly known as an "Angel-Noble", the "Noble" being the coin it replaced. The "Angel" had an initial value of Six Shillings and Eight Pence (or one-third of a Pound or 80 Pence). During the 16th Century, the value of the "Angel" changed from values between 80 Pence to 132 Pence (or 11 Shillings). The dimensions of the coin also changed reflecting the relative value of the coin. The "Angel" was effectively replaced in 1663 when the standard issue gold coin became the "Guinea".
The Old English gold coin worth about 10 shillings is known as a "noble." First minted in the 14th century, the noble was a significant currency in medieval England, often used in large transactions and trade. It typically weighed around 120 grains (about 7.77 grams) and featured the image of the reigning monarch. The coin's value and prominence declined over time with changes in currency and coinage practices.
