The Noble was a grand and awe-inspiring gold coin that held immense value. On its obverse side, it proudly displayed a portrait of the reigning monarch, typically depicted in a regal stance adorned with royal attire and grasping a scepter or sword. The reverse side often showcased a magnificent and intricate ship, symbolizing the profound importance of English naval power.

Obverse

In the 2023 Proof Noble 1/2 Gram Gold Coin’s obverse design, you’ll find the effigy of King Charles III. This remarkable portrait, created by Martin Jennings in late 2022, marks the first appearance of the King in this series, making it a truly special addition to any collection. Inscriptions include KING CHARLES III, ISLE OF MAN, and 2023.

Reverse

The reverse design of the 2023 Proof Isle of Man Nobles features a contemporary representation of naval power. The mint has chosen to depict the Viking longship, a vessel that struck terror into the hearts of Europeans between the 9th and 11th centuries as the Vikings embarked on their marauding expeditions along the coastlines of the British Isles and Europe. Inscriptions here read AU, .9999 HALF GRAM, and NOBLE.

History

Initially, the original Noble was valued at six shillings and eight pence, which equaled one-third of a pound sterling. However, over time, the coin’s value fluctuated due to changes in gold content and debasement. During the reign of King Henry VIII, for example, the coin was debased to contain less gold.
