Isle of Man Silver Angel coin.


For the first time ever, the Pobjoy Mint has issued a Silver Angel struck in 99.9% pure silver. The coin's reverse features a 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. This coin is Legal Tender on the Isle of Man.

"For over 600 years, Silver and Gold coins featuring Angels have been treasured by millions. Medieval kings and queens often bestowed Angel coins on worthy subjects and these coveted coins were believed by many to bring the bearer good luck, fortune and health. For centuries, stories of lucky Angel coins have abounded. Napoleon, King Henry VII, fighter pilots, seafarers, rescue and police heroes have testified to the Angel's powers of luck and protection.
In 1984 a new British Angel series was established by the Isle of Man. This island-Nation within the British Commonwealth commissioned the world-renowned 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 it's very first year. Since 1984 an exciting array of Angel coins have been struck in Gold, Silver and Platinum. The Angel series has become one of the most popular collector-coin series in the entire world".
