In the fifteenth century, King Edward IV ordered a new coin to be issued replacing the gold noble. The result was one of the most popular and fascinating coins ever struck, the gold Angel.
The Angel coin was immensely popular due to widespread belief in its healing properties. Ceremonies were held with Kings giving the coins to the sick and disabled. Many believed they would cure tuberculosis, known as “King’s evil” at the time.
The Pobjoy Mint began minting the Angel coin in 1984 with a captivating new design. It’s widely regarded as one of the most beautiful coin designs ever minted.
The 2015 Angel coin is struck in 1 troy oz of .999 fine silver. The coin’s reverse features an enhanced image of Archangel Michael slaying a dragon. The obverse is graced with the fifth Effigy of Queen Elizabeth II.
Direct from the mint, each coin is remarkable and in pristine condition. Each coin arrives in a new direct-fit, Airtite capsule.
