COIN
Unique ID: HAMP-31E154
Object type certainty: Certain
A 15th-century gold late medieval angel of Henry VI, second reign, 'PER CRUCE TUA SALUA nOS XPC REDE'TOR' reverse, Bristol mint (1470-1471 AD; North 1614)
Notes:
This was found 20m from an Angel of Henry VII (recorded separately as HAMP-FEE0E5). The coins are comparable with the large Asthall hoard of angels (2007 T433) which are thought to have been deposited in the late 1520s. Althuogh this pair pre-date the reign of Henry VIII the clipping to the Henry VII coin suggests a date of deposition a number of years afterte date of issue (1488-1489AD).
As this pair of late medieval gold coins contain at least 10% gold and are at least 300 years old and deemed to be from the same findspot, they qualify as Treasure under the stipulations of the Treasure Act 1996.
