The ‘Original Maker’, striking coins since 886, The Royal Mint are the world’s leading export mint for both currency and bullion. The Britannia coin, in both gold and silver, has become a much loved investment coin globally. Additionally, collector coins from the Royal Mint have sometimes increased in value by many times, and are seen as a solid investment choice.
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.
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 is delighted to reveal a fresh interpretation
of the coin, which features a modern reimagining of the angel’s classic
St Michael design by Sandra Deiana. The coin is available in a range
of editions, including 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.
