The 1 oz Platinum Noble holds a historic distinction as the world's first modern platinum bullion coin, introduced in 1983 by the Isle of Man, a self-governing British Crown dependency. Issued by the Pobjoy Mint, this trailblazing coin features a Viking longship cutting through the ocean, symbolizing exploration, strength, and heritage. While no longer minted annually, the Noble remains a favorite among collectors and platinum investors, especially early-year releases and low-mintage variants.
Collector Insight:
The Platinum Noble's pioneering status, maritime-themed design, and limited issuance make it one of the most collectible platinum coins ever released. As one of the only coins to feature a "Noble" denomination and an iconic Viking ship, it carries broad appeal across numismatic and bullion communities. Early dates or proof strikes command premiums on the secondary market.
