Coins derive their value from their rarity, condition, visual appeal and - most importantly – the size of their collector base. Our specialists are experienced at assessing preservation and identifying details that distinguish a common coin from a valuable one.

The abbreviated Latin legends translate as on the obverse "Edward by the Grace of God, King of England and France" and on the reverse "By thy cross, save us, O Christ, our Redeemer" taken from the Bible.
The original mint accounts from this reign survive and the gold output of the Mint from 1st May 1471 until 29th September 1472 amounted to some 3,023 pound weight of gold which was nearly £70,000 of face value. This would represent most of the output for this mint mark across the Angels and Half-Angels with perhaps a few thousand more coins till end of year change over.
