ANGEL

This article appears in Volume V02, Page 6 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: ANC-APO
ANGEL , a gold coin, first used in
France
  (angelot, 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) from 6s. 8d. to 1os. The name was derived from the representation it bore of St
Michael
  and the
dragon
 . The angel was the coin given to those who came to be touched for the disease known as king's evil; after it was no longer coined, medals, called
touch
 -pieces, with the same device, were given instead.
