One interesting fact about the 1 Angel coin from England (United Kingdom, British Overseas Territories and Crown Dependencies) made of Gold (.995) weighing 5.1 g is that it was minted during the reign of King Philip and Queen Mary (1554-1558), a time of great religious and political upheaval in England. Despite the turmoil, the coin remained a stable and trusted form of currency, with its gold content ensuring its value and reliability.
