Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1987 Isle of Man 1 Angel coin is that it features an image of Archangel Michael, a powerful angel in Christianity, on its reverse side. This design was specifically chosen to commemorate the Hong Kong Coin Show, where the coin was first introduced. The use of Archangel Michael symbolizes the protection and guidance offered by the angel, and it is a unique and meaningful feature that sets this coin apart from other coins in the series.
