The original gold Angel coin was introduced by Edward IV in 1465. It was based on the French Angelot or Ange, a French coin that also took its name from its Archangel Michael slaying the dragon design. The Angel was said to bring good luck and promote health and was handed out to those suffering from the disease known as scrofula or “King’s evil” during medieval times.
