has gloss | eng: An Angel is a gold coin, first used in France (where it was also known as an Angelot and an Ange) in 1340, and introduced into England by Edward IV in 1465 as a new issue of the "noble" and so at first called the "angel-noble". It varied in value between that period and the time of Charles I, when it was last coined (1642) from 6s. 8d. to 11s. The name was derived from the representation it bore of St. Michael and the dragon. |
