The angel was an English gold coin introduced by Edward IV in 1465. It was patterned after the French ''angelot'' or ''ange'', which had been issued since 1340. The name derived from its representation of the archangel Michael slaying a dragon. As it was considered a new issue of the noble, it was also called the angel-noble. In 1472, the half-angel was introduced with a similar design weighing 40 grains (2.6 grams) with a diameter of 20 to 21 millimeters. __NOTOC__ ==Design== Reverse: Depicts a ship with arms and rays of sun at the masthead. Legend: , meaning "By Thy cross save us, Christ Redeemer." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Angel (coin)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
