Angel (Manx coin)

Manx Angels are gold or silver bullion coins distributed by the Isle of Man and minted by private companies.

In small lettering beneath the dragon, metal content, coin size and fineness are given.

The design is framed by an elaborate Viking knit motif border with the island's coat of arms, the triskele, appearing at the top, above the ship's flag.

The motif of Michael or a Saint slaying a dragon is found in other coins.

The United Kingdom's Sovereign gold bullion also show Saint George fighting a dragon.

The Angel changed back to the left facing pose starting in 2016.

Each year, the 1⁄20-ounce gold coins had a different privy mark above the dragon's head.
