The angel varied in value from 6 shillings 8 pence to 11 shillings between Edward's reign and the time of James I. Under Charles I, it was last coined in 1642.^[1][2]

Gold Angel Coin Worth

The angel was such an iconic coin that many English pubs were named after it. The Angel Inn in Islington (after which the Angel tube station is named) was one of these.

The angel was traditionally given to sufferers of the disease known as 'king's evil', in a mediaeval ceremony intended to heal them with the 'royal touch'. After it was no longer minted, medals with the same device (called touch pieces) were given instead.^[1]

The 1610 General Assembly of the Church of Scotland in Glasgow was named after the coins. M'Crie writes: 'The bribery practised at this Assembly was shamefully notorious. Golden coins, called angels, were so plentifully distributed among the ministers, that it was called, by way of derision, the angelical Assembly.'^[3]
