Many of today’s bullion coins from mints around the world have a touch of history in their design. The new St. Helena Silver Lucky Angel from the East India Company has a rich backstory attached to the concept of the Angel coin design from 18th-century France. Right now, 2023 1 oz St. Helena Silver Lucky Angel Coins are available to purchase online from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
Each 2023 1 oz St. Helena Silver Lucky Angel Coin available here is a product of the partnership between the Issuing Authority of St. Helena and the modern East India Company. These coins are available individually in plastic flips, with multiples packaged in tubes of 20 or Master Boxes of 500 coins.
The concept behind the Lucky Angel coin design featured on these coins dates to 1792. King Louis XVI commissioned Augustine Dupre to design a new French coin and he developed the image of an angel atop a pedestal. However, Dupre was later accused of harboring revolutionary sympathies and sentenced to death. He allegedly escaped the guillotine by bribing guards with the very angel coins he designed, lending a legacy of luck to this coin design.
Queen Elizabeth II is on the obverse of 2023 St. Helena Silver Lucky Angel Coins. This portrait of Her Majesty is a right-profile relief that was designed in 1985 by Raphael Maklouf and features the George IV State Diadem Crown.
A modern twist on the Lucky Angel appears on the reverse of 2023 1 oz Silver Lucky Angel Coins. This new design shows the angel in front-facing relief walking atop the globe with a wreath in her right hand.
