From the Cleveland Museum of Art record

This piece is one of the finest specimens known. It contains on the reverse, at the end of the legend, an unexplained mark that strongly resembles a small letter c, superimposed on a figure 7. The angel was an English gold coin introduced by Edward IV in 1465.
