For more than 600 years, lucky British angel coins have been treasured by investors, collectors, and coin enthusiasts around the world. The lucky angel was introduced by King Edward IV in the 15th century. It was originally called the noble angel, as it superseded the gold noble, which was the most popular coin at the time.
The angel coins became extremely popular due to widespread belief in their healing qualities. Kings frequently staged ceremonies in which they distributed gold angellos to the sick and disabled in the belief that it would cure tuberculosis, which was known as “King’s evil” at the time.
Over the years, the angel coin became known as the lucky angel, as it was believed to offer protection from harm. Soldiers often carried the angel coin into battle, cementing its legend as a good luck charm.
