2014 Isle of Man 1-oz Silver Angel NGC MS70
What’s the secret known by kings, generals and emperors?
The lucky Silver Angel coin!
For over 600 years, silver and gold coins featuring Angels have been treasured by millions. As precious family heirlooms, they were often passed down from generation to generation as a legacy of good fortune.
These coveted coins were believed by many to bring good luck to the bearer – even curing sickness and saving lives. Over the centuries, the legend of the Angel grew with incredible stories like these:
Saved from Execution
In 1792, the well-known French coin designer, Augustin Dupré, designed a beautiful new Gold Angel coin for King Louis XVI. But as the French Revolution erupted, Dupré’s fortunes took a dramatic turn and he suddenly found himself sentenced to death at the guillotine.
As legend has it, Dupré stood before the guillotine to be executed one stormy day and he pulled one of the Angel coins he had designed out of his pocket and rubbed it for good luck. At that moment, a bolt of lightning struck— causing his execution to be postponed.
Before it could be rescheduled, Augustin Dupré was granted a pardon. From that day on, he proclaimed that it was the lucky Angel coin which had literally saved his neck!
Napoleon’s Lucky Angel
Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte is said to have carried an Angel coin in his vest pocket throughout his steady rise to power in France. As Napoleon’s empire grew, his Angel coin accompanied him on each heroic campaign. But legend tells us that, on the eve of a great battle in 1815, he reportedly flung his coin arrogantly into a river. The very next day, Napoleon was defeated in the Battle of Waterloo and forced into exile.
Carried by Sea Captains, Generals and Heroes
In times of conflict and danger, Angel coins have long been believed to provide safety and protection. Generals issued them to fighter pilots in both WWI and WWII for luck. Pilots in the Korean War, Vietnam, and Desert Storm were also known to carry Angel coins for good luck.
Ship captains and fishermen are said to have refused to go to sea without one. These days, many rescue and police heroes have proclaimed the Angel’s powers of luck and protection.
World’s First Brilliant Uncirculated Silver Angel Coin
England’s King Henry VIII was one of the earliest monarchs to give Angel coins to his subjects. And less than six miles away from the last royal palace he built is the Pobjoy Mint – the very mint commissioned to strike the new 2014 legal-tender One-Ounce Silver Angels in 99.9% pure silver!
Using intricately-sculpted dies prepared through centuries-old techniques, the craftsmen at the Pobjoy Mint have created a modern masterpiece in stunning pure silver. It's the first time ever that a Silver Angel coin has been struck in Brilliant Uncirculated condition!
The coin’s reverse features a dramatically-sculpted image of St. Michael the Archangel battling a fierce dragon—a classic depiction of the triumph of Good over Evil. As official legal tender of the British Commonwealth, the obverse features the regal portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
