Witness The Ultimate Battle Between Good and Evil With The 2009 British Angel VS Dragon 1-oz Gold Proof Set!
The British Gold Angel coins are among the most popular collectors’ coins in the world because of their eye-catching, dramatic design of good versus evil. They were first minted in 1465, during the War of the Roses and the good winning the battle with evil made it popular with those tired of the war. This image of St. Michael vanquishing the Dragon has always been on a single coin, over the centuries. The conception of the battle of good versus evil has been around for a long time, dating back to the Garden of Eden, with the serpent coercing Eve to eat the forbidden fruit
.
Centuries went by without the minting of these beautiful gold coins, but this resumed again in 1984. British Gold Angel coins recommenced being struck in 1984 by the Pobjoy Mint and has continued to do so for twenty-five years. That first-year British Gold Angel even won “Gold Coin of the Year”, which occurred more than once, at the 1984 Coin of the Year award, due to the meticulous design and the greatly mirrored surfaces of the proofs.
The twenty-fifth anniversary of the contemporary British Gold Angel is in 2009 and in commemoration of this noteworthy event; a two-coin British Gold Angel Proof Set has been released. Each coin in this sensational set was struck in one Troy ounce of 99.99% fine gold and is graded Gem Proof condition. The uniqueness of this impressive set is that they are made to match up, side to side, to give you the entire scenic picture.
On one coin is the Angel, St. Michael, whose image is one of strength, courage and power. He is well-muscled, with his wings unfurled behind him, and is brandishing a spear. This spear is actually continued on the second coin in the set, slaying the Dragon. St. Michael’s shield is also partly on the next coin, being grasped by the Dragon’s clawed front feet. The image of the Dragon is one of ferocity, having large, bat-like wings, pointed protuberances down its neck and it is breathing fire from its mouth. In addition, every scale on the Dragon is visible in life-like detail. The intricate craftsmanship of these coins is absolutely remarkable and both have been struck four times to bring out every subtle nuance. This amazing 2009 British Angel versus Dragon 1-ounce Gold Proof Set will not only be a great investment, but also a dazzling centerpiece of your collection!
