Comment
House of Tudor (1485-1603), Edward VI (1547-53), Coinage in his own name, 23 carat fine gold angel.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Angel coin from Edward VI's third period is that it was one of the first coins to feature a portrait of the monarch, which was a departure from the traditional depiction of saints and symbols on coins. This coin features a portrait of Edward VI, who was only 16 years old when he ascended to the throne, making him the youngest monarch to be depicted on an English coin at the time.
