The first specimen was lot 1764 in Jean Elsen sale 145 (Brussels, September 2020), where it sold for €5,000 (about US$7,125 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,
"THORN, Abdij, Margaretha van Brederode (1557-1577), AV gouden angelot, z.j. Met onciale legende. Vz/ Sint Michiels met de draak. Kz/ Vierveldig wapenschild onder het kruis en M-B op een schip. Zeldzaam Prachtexemplaar op een brede muntplaat geslagen. Prachtig. (abbey of Thorn, Margaretha van Brederode, 1557-77, undated gold angel with uncial letters in the legends. Obverse: St. Michael slays the dragon; reverse; quartered arms under a cross and "M-B" on a ship. Rare, beautiful example struck on a broad planchet. Extremely Fine.)"
The second specimen was lot 33832 in Heritage sale 3114 (New York, January 2024), where it sold for $4,800. The lot description[2] noted, "Netherlands: Thorn. Margaret of Brederode gold Angel ND (1557-1577) MS62 NGC. A classic Dutch Renaissance-era gold emission, extremely covetable in Mint State. One of only two specimens of the type certified by NGC, and the finer of the two by three grade levels. The obverse is filled with small die-cracks, a fascinating addition to the already capturing "Angel" scene." It was offered again as lot 32218 in Stack's Bowers NYINC sale (New York, January 2025), where it did not sell. This issue bears a strong resemblance to the gold angels struck in England, which were 80 grains (5.18 g). The abbess also issued a very rare ducat (Fr-173d).
Recorded mintage: unknown.
Specification: gold, the first specimen 4,97 g, the second specimen 4.94 g.
Catalog reference: Fr-173f, Delm-266; v.d.Ch. 17, 6; Lucas 16.
