The mint mark pheon gold coins date towards the end of the reign of King Henry VII and form part of what is a very large issue and are perhaps the easiest to find of the Angels of this reign. Some £325,000 worth of gold was struck in the November 1505-April 1509 period in which this coin falls across all denominations in gold from Sovereign to Half Angel. These were struck under the last joint masters of the reign Robert Fenrother and William Rede from an indenture signed on 22nd November 1505.
