Angel Coins

This Manx angel coin portrays the triumph of good over evil with a classical and forceful image of St Michael's victory over the dragon.

In medieval times the Angel was valued as a touchpiece and thought to be the bringer of good fortune. First struck on French coins in 1341, the Angel was later adopted on English coinage in 1465, during the reign of Edward IV.

Pobjoy Mint Announces Closure at End of 2023

After nearly six decades, spanning 58 years of producing official and commemorative coins, the Pobjoy Mint and its managing director, Taya Pobjoy, are set to retire at the end of 2023. Having been in operation (1965-2023) for nearly as long as our own incorporation in 1964 by managing director Lawrence Chard at Chards Coin and Bullion Dealer, it is with great sadness that we bid farewell to the Pobjoy Mint as they cease operations.

History of the Pobjoy Mint

In 1965, at the age of 32, Derek Pobjoy founded the Pobjoy Mint and named it after his family surname. Derek claimed that he purchased a coin press after leaving his previous family business, a jewellery and masonry business run by his father, Ernest Pobjoy, which ultimately led to the creation of the Pobjoy Mint.

In the first year after Pobjoy Mint's incorporation in 1965, following the passing of Sir Winston Churchill, they issued medals to honour Britain's former Prime Minister and wartime hero. Five years later, in 1970, Pobjoy Mint began striking coins on behalf of the Isle of Man, which eventually led to the creation of many of their most popular bullion coin series, including the Angel series, Isle of Man Cat series and the Noble bullion coin series.

The obverse of the coin will feature one of Queen Elizabeth II's coinage portraits.

The reverse of the coin features a depiction of the Archangel Michael, slaying a dragon.
