The Angel is based on a French design, the Angelot or Ange, and its name was derived from its representation of the Archangel St.<\/p>\n<p>Michael slaying the dragon. As treasured touchstones of good fortune and health, Angel coins were often passed down through generations as a family legacy. The legend of the lucky Angel coin has grown and grown for centuries. Napoleon, King Henry VII, fighter pilots, seafarers, police and fire fighters have all proclaimed the Angel\u2019s powers of luck and protection. In 2008, the Isle of Man Government introduced a new design bringing back some features of the original design including Michael\u2019s feathered wings and Viking knit motif around the border. The Angel coin series has become one of the most popular collector coin series in the world.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Reverse Design:<\/strong> The obverse design depicts an effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Jody Clark and inscription including the year the coin is struck, the country of issue and Her Majesty\u2019s title \u2018Queen Elizabeth II\u2019. The reverse design is in keeping with the traditional Angel coin design used by the Isle of Man dating back to the 1980s, it is the classic design of the archangel Michael slaying a Dragon, which first appeared on an English medieval coin also called the Gold Angel 540 years ago. The rim is embellished by a Viking Knit motif and the Isle of Man triskelion at the 12 o\u2019clock position.[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\" ubtn-ctn-left \"><a class=\"ubtn-link ult-adjust-bottom-margin ubtn-left ubtn-normal \" href=\"https:\/\/www.towermint.co.uk\/faqs-testimonials\/\" title=\"WHERE CAN I BUY IOM COINS\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" ><button type=\"button\" id=\"ubtn-8778\"  class=\"ubtn ult-adjust-bottom-margin ult-responsive ubtn-normal ubtn-no-hover-bg  none  ubtn-left   tooltip-662d097c35879\"  data-hover=\"\" data-border-color=\"\" data-bg=\"#282785\" data-hover-bg=\"\" data-border-hover=\"\" data-shadow-hover=\"\" data-shadow-click=\"none\" data-shadow=\"\" data-shd-shadow=\"\"  data-ultimate-target='#ubtn-8778'  data-responsive-json-new='{\"font-size\":\"\",\"line-height\":\"\"}'  style=\"font-weight:normal;border:none;background: #282785;color: #ffffff;\"><span class=\"ubtn-hover\" style=\"background-color:\"><\/span><span class=\"ubtn-data ubtn-text \" >WHERE CAN I BUY IOM COINS?<\/span><\/button><\/a><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Isle of Man Angel is one of the world\u2019s foremost bullion and commemorative coins inspired and maintaining the traditions of a coin introduced into England by Edward IV in 1465.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":706,"template":"","dt_portfolio_category":[10,11],"dt_portfolio_tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.8 -
