The Angel

The angel is one of the most fascinating coins in numismatic history and the coin’s name derives from the design on the obverse of the coin that shows the Archangel Michael battling Satan, who is presented in the form of a dragon.

History of the Design

First issued in the 1460s during the reign of Edward IV as a smaller replacement for the noble, it went on to become a healing piece associated with ‘touching ceremonies’. During these ceremonies, it was believed that the reigning monarch could pass on some of their God-given power and therefore cure sufferers of scrofula, a bacterial infection of the lymph nodes also known as the ‘king’s evil’, through the coin. The angel would be touched and often pierced then hung around the person’s neck with white ribbon to continue to protect the person wearing it.

Production of the angel originally ended in the mid seventeenth century but now, The Royal Mint reveals a fresh interpretation of the coin, which features a modern reimagining of the angel’s classic St Michael design by Sandra Deiana.

The Angel Range

The Angel range includes a 5kg, 2kg, 1kg, 5oz, 2oz, 1oz and 1/4oz gold Proof, 1kg, 10oz, 5oz, 2oz and 1oz silver Proof and a £5 Brilliant Uncirculated edition.

Obverse

The obverse features the uncrowned portrait of His Majesty King Charles III, designed by Martin Jennings.

Reverse

The reverse presents a modern reimagining of the classic St. Michael design by Sandra Deiana, depicting the Archangel Michael locked in battle with Satan, shown in the form of a dragon.
