New Site: My main coins website, formerly on www.tclayton.demon.co.uk, has been moved to www.coins-of-the-uk.co.uk. Any updated version of this page will be found here, and all links to related History or Values pages will take you to that website.
The angel, first issued in 1461 with a value of 80 pence (6s8d), was raised to 90 pence (7s6d) in 1526, and then further to 96 pence (eight shillings) in 1544. By 1550 the angel was valued at ten shillings.
Due to the rising price of gold the value of all nobles in circulation was raised to 100 pence in 1464. No further coins of this value were struck, as the noble was replaced by the rose-noble or ryal valued at ten shillings.

I would be grateful if you could search the site carefully before mailing me - the answers to the great majority of the questions that I am asked can be found on this site, and I am unlikely to reply quickly to such questions. In particular, I do NOT provide a valuation service.
If you have done this and still wish to ask for advice, feel free to mail me via my Advice page but please do not send me unsolicited scans or other binary files.
