Comment

In 1984, a new Angel series was established by the Isle of Man. This British island nation commissioned the worldrenown Pobjoy Mint in London to strike the modern Angel coin series. The Pobjoy Mint is one of the oldest and most respected private mints in the world, and the design that they created for the Angel series immediately garnered a Coin of the Year award in its very first year. Since 1984, an exciting array of Angel coins have been struck in Gold, Silver, Palladium, and Platinum. The Angel series has become one of the most popular collector coin series in the entire world. Unlike mere tokens of good luck, these coins are official legal tender and are struck in pure precious metal.

Now, for the first time ever, the Pobjoy Mint has issued a one Troy ounce Silver Angel struck in 99.9% pure silver in Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) condition. The coin's reverse features a dramatically-sculpted image of St. Michael the Archangel battling a fierce dragon. This classic depiction of the triumph of Good over Evil appeared on the very first Pobjoy Angel coin in 1984, and was awarded the prestigious "Coin of the Year Award" for excellence. The obverse of this coin features the regal portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

In addition to the St. Michael & the Dragon design, the coin's reverse also features the denomination of "1 Angel", the purity of "Ag.999" (99.9% pure silver), and the weight of 1 ounce. The Queen's portrait side of the coin features the legend "Queen Elizabeth II", the year date 2014, and the country of issue "Isle of Man' – which is an island nation located within the British Isles between England and Ireland.

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the coin is that it features a redesign of the Archangel Michael, which is a unique departure from the traditional depiction of Michael on coins. The redesign was done to give the coin a fresh and modern look.
