Irish Crown official and judge
Thomas Archbold, or Thomas Galmole (died after 1506) was a goldsmith and silversmith, who also qualified as a lawyer, and rose to become a senior Crown official and judge in Ireland in the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries. He was Master of the Mint in Ireland for many years. 
Background.
He was born in Dublin, to a long-established Dublin family. The Archbold family were among the earliest English settlers in Ireland. William Archbold, a senior member of the Royal household who was appointed one of the Irish Barons of the Exchequer in 1378, was his ancestor. A royal writ of 1400, concerning the appointment of one William Archbold (probably either the judge or his son) as Constable of the fort of Newcastle Mackynegan in County Wicklow, names no less than five members of the Archbold family, all living in Dublin, as sureties for his good conduct. Richard Archbold, Constable of Dublin Castle in the 1480s, may also have been a relative of Thomas. Although the sources are clear that he was a member of the Archbold family of Dublin, he was also called Thomas Galmole.
