Sincona sale 79, lot 1105

This specimen was lot 1105 in Sincona sale 79 (Zurich, October 2022), where it sold for 3,800 CHF (about US$4,554 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted, "GREAT BRITAIN | Königreich, James I. 1603-1625. Angel n. d. (1623-1624), Tower Mint. Third coinage. Mintmark lis. Very rare. NGC AU Details. Mount mark (?)." The gold angel, when originally introduced in the reign of Edward IV, was worth six shillings eight pence. By the reign of James I, it had been raised to eleven shillings. With the accession of James I we drop "England" as the country name and adopt the current "Great Britain."
