BullionByPost is proud to offer numismatic collectors a growing range of rare collectable coins, including this Angel, in fine condition.  This Angel features Annulets and a shield over a ship on the obverse and an Angel with small wings (St Michael), with both feet on a Dragon on the reverse.

Henry VII won the throne after defeating Richard III at the Battle of Bosworth in 1485 and became the first Tudor King. He reigned for 23 years and in that time was successful in restoring power and stability to the Monarchy after the upheavals of the War of the Roses.

1464 saw the first gold Angel appearing in British coinage. It weighed 80 grams with a value of 6 shillings and 8 pence which apparently was the standard professional fee at the time. It remained with us for almost 200 years when it left in the reign of Charles I.
