Hello, I have been trying to identify and read the inscriptions on this 26mm gold coin. My guess it is Austro-Hungarian empire, maybe Venice. Is someone able to identify / read it?
England, Edward IV or V. EDWARD DEI GRATIA REX ANGL Z FRANC (Edward by the grace of God king of the English and the French) / PER CRUCEM TUA SALVA NOS XPC REDEMPT' (Through thy cross, save us, Christ the Redeemer).
I have had to decline your request to add this coin since I believe it is already listed here https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces52755.html. The Gold Angel was first issued by Edward IV around 1465 to replace the heavier Noble. The early issues of the Angel during Edward's first reign had a sunburst at the top of the masthead on the reverse, so I believe yours is the later issue from his second reign. I don't believe yours was struck at Bristol since there appears to be no 'B' in the waves but dating it precisely is going to be hard since the mintmarks are hard to read. You may wish to check the weight of your coin but it looks as if the planchet is smaller than it should be (parts of the legend around the edge are missing). It is possible that this was struck on a smaller planchet in error but it seems more likely that the coin will have been clipped or shaved during its lifetime.
Just because you can't see it ... doesn't mean it isn't there - Anon.
