Interesting fact
The 1 Angel coin from Mary ND (1553-1554) is interesting because it was one of the first coins to feature a portrait of a British monarch, specifically Mary I, also known as Mary Tudor or Bloody Mary. This coin was minted during her reign and features her image on one side and a depiction of the Archangel Michael slaying a dragon on the other. The coin was made of gold and was used as a standard circulation coin in England and the British Overseas Territories and Crown Dependencies.
