Description
The Angel is one of history’s most celebrated coins, long regarded as a symbol of protection and healing. For 2026, The Royal Mint has reimagined this iconic design for a brand-new bullion range.
Artist Sandra Deina has created a striking modern interpretation of the classic portrayal of the Archangel Michael defeating Satan, depicted in the form of a dragon, on the reverse. The design is complemented by intricate secure pattern features in the background, serving as both a security enhancement and a continuation of the angel’s enduring legacy as a protective coin.
Struck in 1oz of 999.9 fine gold, the Angel Bullion Coin 2026 is a compelling addition to any investment portfolio or collection. As a UK coin, it is Capital Gains Tax (CGT) free for UK residents.
Why buy 1 oz gold coins?
One ounce gold coins are popular in the gold bullion market. They are a great way to split your precious metal holdings in smaller fractions. In fact, a large gold bar is not always the best option. Even if you will pay less per gram with gold bars, a large gold bar will restrict the fungibility of your investment. Buying 1 ounce gold bullion coins make your investment more divisible and liquid. In fact, you can trade few gold coins when you need cash, instead of selling a whole bar at once. On the other hand, a large gold bar will be more difficult to convert into cash. Therefore, it is worth paying a slightly higher premium above the gold spot spot price.
