Gold Angel of Henry VII, London mint, type II (no mint-mark), c. 1488-9; North (1991), no.1695. Gold coin of 23 ct 3½ grains (0.995 fine) weighing 80 grains and current for 6s 8d, was introduced by Edward IV in 1465. Early angels depicted St Michael as a feathered being, as on this specimen. The obverse die of this coin was damaged, apparently somewhat worn and rusty when the coin was struck.
