		The Noble was the first English gold coin produced in quantity, having been preceded by the Twenty pence coin and the Florin earlier in the reigns of King Henry III and King Edward III, which saw little circulation.
		The coin was introduced during the second coinage (1344-1346) of King Edward III, when the coin weighed 138.5 grains (9.0 grams); during the kings' third coinage (1346-1351) the weight of the coin was reduced to 128.5 grains (8.3 grams), while in his fourth coinage (1351-1377) it became even lighter, at 120 grains (7.8 grams).
		In contrast, a new coin worth six shillings and eight pence (the same as the original Noble), the Angel[?] was introduced in 1464 and soon became a popular and important coin.

	Plurals in non-english languages - Linguistics - tribe.net
		english does not have dual trial or paucal plurals because its noun classes are anchored soundly in natural gender and rely heavily on the direct association of pronoun to noun.
		Pence and pennies and corpora and corpuses are merely different forms of the plural of corpus in English (one Latinate and the other more common English).
		Using the dual plural sounds more intimate, and it is on this count that english speakers have a difficult time acquiring slovenian, as they tend to use the plural all the time instead of the dual, a habit that makes their words sound coarse and out of place.
