🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 England Gold Angel 'Touch Piece' 1660-1685 – Charles II
A very pleasing example of this rare and desirable ceremonial medallic issue. Holed as issued with comparatively fewer distractions versus many previously sold counterparts. The example on offer has been lightly cleaned but has not been mounted, bent, or soldered.
This is the larger issue with a diameter of approximately 22 mm and a weight of around 3.70 grams. More worn examples tend to fall south of 3.5 grams with those in better states of preservation being north of this.
Compare with some previously auctioned pieces (including relevant fees and buyer's premium)...

There is a deep and significant history behind these gold 'touch pieces' stemming back to the age-old belief that monarchs exhibited Christ-like healing abilities and that those touched by the monarch could be healed. The Stuart Restoration of 1660 seen the reintroduction of the ceremonial practice of 'touching for the King's evil' by Charles II. 'The King's evil' was a colloquial name used to refer to an illness known as scrofula, a tuberculous swelling of the lymph glands. The ceremony consisted of King Charles II laying his hand on the afflicted prior to them being presented with a pre-holed gold token to be worn around the neck with a ribbon. This showed that they had been healed by the King.
The obverse depicts Saint Michael slaying Satan in the form of a dragon and the reverse boasts a ship at sea with legend around.
These gold angel 'touch pieces' were produced at The Royal Mint at Tower Hill, London.
