The "Angel" was a gold coin first introduced into England by Edward IV in 1465. The coin came from France where it was known as an "Angelot". It was briefly known as an "Angel-Noble", the "Noble" being the coin it replaced. The "Angel" had an initial value of Six Shillings and Eight Pence (or one-third of a Pound or 80 Pence). During the 16th Century, the value of the "Angel" changed from values between 80 Pence to 132 Pence (or 11 Shillings). The dimensions of the coin also changed reflecting the relative value of the coin. The "Angel" was effectively replaced in 1663 when the standard issue gold coin became the "Guinea".

A gold Angel coin from the period 1485 to 1509 (Henry VII), circulated but still in good condition, might fetch anything from £600 to £4,000 GBP. This coin has a good many variants. The values quoted are the best possible for the best specimens in their grades, but may be significantly lower due to varying demand for the coin and the prevailing economic climate.

The gold Angel coin was first issued around 1465 to replace the earlier gold Noble coin. The Angel coin initially had a face value of six shillings and sixpence. The face value of the Angel varied during the life span of the coin and reached as high as eleven shillings before the Angel coin was replaced by the Guinea range of coins around 1665.

They have no collector value and sell for a couple of Dollars from Church retail outlets. Alternatively, some countries produce a coin known as an "Angel", with various denominations.
