Brief History of The Angel

The Angel was first introduced during the reign of Edward IV in 1465 and quickly became one of England's most recognisable gold coins. Named after its depiction of the Archangel Michael slaying a dragon, it was traditionally associated with protection and healing and remained in circulation until the seventeenth century. The Royal Mint's modern Angel collection pays tribute to this remarkable heritage, bringing one of Britain's oldest coin designs into the present day through contemporary artistry and precision minting.
