Celebrating 40 Years of the Modern Angel Coin: A Timeless Symbol of Good Over Evil
The modern angel coin, with its original angel-inspired design, has captivated the hearts of coin collectors and enthusiasts around the world. These coins, including sovereigns, share a profound theme: the eternal battle of good over evil. With a history spanning over 550 years, the angel coin is renowned for its legendary powers of healing and prosperity.
When the modern angel coin was reintroduced, it was proclaimed 1984’s ‘Coin of the Year.’ This accolade was just the beginning of its rise to fame: the coin soon rivalled the popularity of gold sovereigns, gold eagles, and the gold Krugerrand - earning the nickname "Krugerrand killer."
To commemorate the historic 40th anniversary of the modern angel coin, the Proof gold coin features an exclusive 40th privy mark with angel wings. This special mark is a tribute to the coin's enduring legacy and its significance in the world of numismatics. But there's more to this celebration: there is a second ‘hidden’ 40th reference that adds to the coin's allure - King Charles III was the 40th monarch to be crowned at Westminster Abbey.
The modern angel coin has become a world-renowned treasure that coin collectors eagerly anticipate each year. Its rich history, symbolic design, and legendary status make it a must-have for any serious collector. As we celebrate 40 years of the modern angel coin, we honour its legacy and look forward to its continued impact on the world of coin collecting.
