Henry VIII Gold Angel 1509-1547AD Third Coinage 1544-1547AD mm. Lis
27mm, 5.03g, S2299
A decent VF example with some wear and scratches but no perforations or cracks.
During 1544 the gold angel was further increased in value up to eight shillings to guard against the loss of gold to continental Europe on the black market, since it was in short supply and worth more than its face value in England.
