Maughold Churchyard Gold Angel

A gold angel of Edward IV found in Maughold Churchyard in February 1908 and now held by the Manx Museum.

Also recorded as: Edward IV gold angel; Maughold 1908 gold coin

What the evidence supports

The coin entered the Manx Museum after its 1908 discovery. The map shows the same shared published church context as the Louis the Pious solidus and deliberately avoids two separate find-level pins within a burial ground.

Location and precision

Approximate area · radius 250 m. Rounded shared published Maughold church context; no grave-level or find-level position is published.

Why this public geometry is safe: The published area identifies only the church context and intentionally merges two historic coin-find locations at map scale.

Legal note

On the Isle of Man, metal-detector use in a protected area requires written Manx National Heritage consent, and digging or excavation on any land to search for archaeological objects requires an MNH licence. Landowner permission alone is not enough.
