2025 1 oz Patron Saints: St. Michael the Archangel Black Proof Silver Coin
The Native American Mint proudly unveils its newest collection: the Patron Saints Silver Coin Series.
This distinguished series pays tribute to twelve revered saints, recognized as protectors and spiritual guides of humanity. Throughout three annual releases, a pair of silver coins—each with unique finishes—will be introduced until all twelve saints have been honored.
The first release of 2025 features St. Michael the Archangel and St. Joseph, marking the beginning of this sacred series.
St. Michael the Archangel is widely revered as the defender of soldiers, police officers, paramedics, and the military, symbolizing strength, justice, and divine protection. In Revelation 12:7-12, he leads the celestial battle against Satan, casting him from heaven and stripping him of his role as accuser before God. By the late medieval era, St. Michael had become a patron of chivalry, embodying valor and righteousness in the face of evil.
This coin, in particular, stands out for its Black-proof finish, which darkens the surfaces, making it similar to an antique object. Following the series patterns, it contains 1 Troy oz of .999 fine silver and holds legal tender status in the Republic of Ghana through a 5 cedis denomination.

The Design
The reverse design is standard for all coins in the series. It portrays King Charles III’s effigy, designed by Jody Clark. His Majesty’s bust is encircled by “CHARLES III · REPUBLIC OF GHANA · 5 CEDIS · 2025 · 1oz .999 SILVER,” which describes the nation that ensures the coin’s legal tender status, face value, mintage, weight, purity, and metal content.
The obverse depicts St. Michael the Archangel standing against a heavenly backdrop. His powerful presence looms behind a miniature soldier, symbolizing divine protection on the battlefield. The decorated outer rim is engraved with “ST. MICHAEL THE ARCHANGEL.”
Because it is a black-proof coin, its surfaces exhibit a darker tone, like an antique artifact. The blank spaces feature a mirror-like luster, while the design elements imprinted on them are matte, making an interesting contrast.
