The Angel 2026 1oz MS68+

Introducing the 2026 The Angel 1oz Gold Coin – Graded MS68+ by NGC for Exceptional Quality and Historic Significance

The 2026 Angel 1oz Gold Coin is the newest release in The Royal Mint’s celebrated bullion programme, reviving one of the most fascinating coins in English numismatic history — the gold Angel, first struck under Edward IV in the 15th century and not produced again for nearly four hundred years. Graded MS68+ by NGC, this coin sits in the upper tier of condition, with strong visual appeal, well-defined strike, and nearly flawless surfaces — ideal for both collectors and investors seeking premium-grade gold.

The Angel symbolises protection, triumph over evil, and good fortune, having long been carried by its bearer as a talisman against sickness and misfortune. Its defining image is the Archangel Michael — armoured, winged, and haloed — raising a cross-topped lance to smite Satan, depicted as a dragon, at his feet. The coin’s reverse design, reimagined by Italian sculptor Sandra Deiana, presents that classic motif in bold relief, framed by the medieval legend PER CRUCEM TUAM + SALVA NOS CHRISTE REDEMPTOR — “By thy Cross save us, O Christ, our Redeemer” — and embellished with an innovative secure pattern for added protection against counterfeiting.

Struck in 1 troy ounce of 999.9 fine gold, the Angel offers exceptional purity, a commanding design, and a CGT-exempt status for UK investors. The obverse bears the definitive portrait of King Charles III by Martin Jennings, affirming its legal tender status and enduring connection to the British Crown.
