Charles I struck onlyangels, <strong>and</strong> not later than 1634.I cannot close this brief account <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> newly discoveredquarter-angel <strong>of</strong> James I without expressing myspecial thanks to Mr. Hocking who has supplied me withmost <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> facts connected with its issue.
