Mints and mintmarks
Royal Mint at the Tower of London.
Engraver and mintmaster marks
Rose; escallop; coronet.
Identification and varieties
Undated hammered gold. Dates in the table refer to privy-mark periods rather than inscribed years. Listed marks are confirmed combinations, not a complete inventory of dies. Weight and diameter may describe surviving specimens. The angel was initially ten shillings; the later revaluation raised it to eleven shillings. Piercing for use as a touch-piece is a subsequent treatment, not a separate mint issue.
Measurements
Recorded specimen measurements, not a fixed specification for every coin. Hammered flans vary.
