Angelot Público Deposited
-
Definición
A gold coin of the Anglo- Gallic series corresponding to the Angelet (q.v.), and as the latter constituted half of an Angel, so the Angelot was valued at fifteen Sols or about two-thirds of a Salute (q.v.).
It was first struck by Henry VI of Eng- land about 1427, with the usual obverse of St. Michael slaying the dragon. The type is found on coins of Thorn in Brabant, issued by the Abbess Margaret of Breder- ode (1531-1577) and also occurs on speci- mens issued by Henri II of Brederode (1556-1568), struck at Vianen in Luxem- burg.
Under Louis XI of France (1461-1485) a series of Angelots were issued to com- memorate the foundation of the Order of St. Michael. See Hoffmann, Les monnaies royales de France. 1878. (7-10).
