| Additional information |
The George Noble was introduced as part of Henry VIII's second coinage specifically to fill a denominational gap in the gold series, positioned at one-third of the Angel. It was one of the shorter-lived denominations of the Tudor period — the entire second coinage ran only from 1526 to 1529, when Henry's debasement program began in earnest and the gold standard that had underpinned these issues was effectively abandoned.
Spink 2270 is among the rarer Tudor gold types encountered in the trade.
