The Angel coin was designed and issued during the reign of King Edward IV in the 15th century. It’s also referred to as the “Lucky Angel” due to its storied past. Over the years, numerous stories were told of people escaping death by luck, attributing it to the Angel coin.
In 1984, the Pobjoy Mint collaborated with the Isle of Man and introduced a redesigned angel coin in silver featuring the iconic image. The reverse features a depiction of Archangel Michael slaying a dragon, who is actually the devil in disguise.
The obverse is graced with the 5th effigy of Queen Elizabeth II designed by Jody Clark. Since the modern silver angel debuted in 1984, it was struck by the Pobjoy Mint. This year’s release was struck by the Tower Mint of London.
The 2018 Isle of Man Silver Angel coin is struck in one troy ounce of .999 fine silver with a proof like finish. Each coin is absolutely pristine and in remarkable condition. It arrives in a brand new Direct Fit capsule.
