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. 

Known to offer protection and healing powers for its bearer against scrofula, a bacterial infection also known as the ‘king's evil’, this 2026 bullion coin offers a modern interpretation of the angel, whilst sustaining its legacy of protection. Sandra Deina has created a fresh portrayal of St Michael battling Satan on the reverse, which is embellished with an innovative design pattern that prevents counterfeiting. Encircling the design is the inscription ‘PER CRUCEM TUAM + SALVA NOS CHRISTE REDEMPTOR’, which translates as ‘By thy Cross, save us, O Christ, our Redeemer’.
