This set contains three of the denominations of the Isle of Man "Angel" gold coin issued in 2025, in proof grade.
First released by King Edward IV in 1470 as an English Gold Coin, the Angel coin derives its name from its classical design motif featuring the Archangel Michael slaying the dragon. For centuries British Kings and Queens awarded Angel coins to worthy subjects, giving the Angel coin a reputation that to receive one would bring luck and good fortune to its recipients, some believing they could cure sickness and even save lives.
Reintroduced by the Isle of Man Government in 1984, originally as gold and silver bullion coins, the Angel or ‘Manx Angel’ as it has become more commonly known, is one of the world’s most recognised modern coin issues. Winning awards such as the Coin of the Year from day one, the Angel coins are one of the world’s most sought-after gold and silver coin collections.
Celebrating over 40 years since its first release the 2025 Angel Silver and Gold Coin Collection features the original design of the Angel Michael facing left which first featured on the Isle of Man Angel coins in 1984. This classical depiction of the triumph of good over evil which gave the Angel coin its name almost 600 years ago continues today to delight collectors and investors across the world.
2025 Angels carry with them some of the lowest edition limits in the Isle of Man Angel’s history. Minted exclusively by the Tower Mint in London on behalf of the Isle of Man Government, this much loved modern classic coin continues its legacy as one of the world’s most loved gold and silver coin collections.
The set comes in a luxury presentation box, with a numbered Certificate of Authenticity. |
