The term 'Former Gold Coin' refers to three coins that were once used as currency: the NOBLE, the Ducat, and the EAGLE. The NOBLE was a gold coin that was first minted in England during the 14th century. The Ducat was a gold coin that was used in Europe from the Middle Ages until the early 20th century. The EAGLE was a gold coin that was used in the United States from 1795 to 1933. All three coins were made of gold and were used as currency until they were replaced by paper money.
