English Monarchs Gave Gold Angel Coins after Touching People Believed to Have Scrofula|國王摸過病人後,還會發一枚金 Angel 當成治病儀式的一部分
WHAT 這是什麼
London Museum notes that English monarchs used gold Angel coins in the royal-touch ceremony: the king touched people suffering from scrofula, and participants received coins like this one in a practice believed to cure the disease.
WHY HERE 為什麼屬於底域的世界
貨幣不是在此交換商品,而被皇權、身體接觸與治病信念重新製造成可佩帶/保存的儀式證物。
BLIND SPOT 補了哪一塊少看的視角
這是歷史治病信念,不是有效醫療證據;也不能把所有 Angel coins 都認定曾參與 royal touch。
