The mystery of the Gold Angel hides a big secret!

During the recent restoration of a 600 - year - old monastery in Coventry, England, a mysterious discovery made headlines. Hidden within one of the austere cells, historians found a medieval gold coin.

Why would a poor monk, forbidden from owning personal property of any kind, have a precious gold coin secreted away in his room? The answer to this medieval mystery is revealed in the coin's very name: The Gold Angel.

First issued more than 500 years ago by King Edward IV, British Gold Angel coins have been thought for centuries to bring good luck, good fortune ... even to possess healing powers - all inspired by the coin's depiction of St. Michael slaying a fire - breathing dragon.
