The Isle of Man Treasury has recently unveiled their 2025 Angel and Noble Gold and Silver Proof Coins. These coins feature revived designs of St. Michael and a Viking ship, paying homage to the rich heritage of the Isle of Man. The range includes various sizes of gold and silver coins produced by the Tower Mint in London on behalf of the Isle of Man Government.
The Angel coin, introduced by King Edward IV in 1470, is renowned for its classical design depicting the Archangel Michael slaying a dragon. Awarded by British monarchs to worthy individuals, the Angel coin is believed to bring luck and good fortune. Reintroduced by the Isle of Man Government in 1984, the coin has garnered global recognition and acclaim, making it a sought-after collection for coin enthusiasts and investors alike.
The 2025 Angel gold and silver collection features the iconic design of Archangel Michael facing left, surrounded by Celtic knots and the Isle of Man’s Triskelis shield. The Noble coin, with its maritime symbolism, reflects Viking heritage through its depiction of an English king standing on a ship. This design not only symbolizes England’s naval power but also pays tribute to the Viking era and its influence on European trade.
Both the Angel and Noble coins showcase intricate designs that capture the essence of the Isle of Man’s history and cultural significance. Each coin includes an effigy of HM King Charles III, designed by engraver Glyn Davies, adding a royal touch to the collection. A limited-edition two-coin set featuring proof and reverse proof silver Angel and Noble coins is also available for collectors.
The coins serve as a testament to the Isle of Man’s commitment to preserving its heritage and offering unique collectibles for numismatists worldwide. With a blend of historical motifs and modern craftsmanship, these coins hold both aesthetic and investment value, appealing to a diverse range of collectors.
