What the hells a Noble and other such useless info.

« on: August 06, 2009, 02:27:11 PM »

The subject of the value of coins- namely a noble- came up in discussions last night and I was surprised that nobody knew how much it was worth- Including myself , well as promised heres how it works:-

The Noble is Eight shillings 4 pennys (D) 8/4 or 100D

Scrap that its too long and complicated heres the link

Rob, it appears that the noble also started at 6/8 or 80p, it was only increased to the higher value due to the fact of the value increase of gold at the time, but interesting all the same........................ Wink

nice poser of a question tho last nite, and nobody knew........................... Huh

You are right Data, it was one third of a pound, strange value but at the time it was a professional fee (solicitors and the like) , so that is what they charged for their time.
