2025 1 oz Patron Saints: St. Michael the Archangel Colorized Black Proof Silver Coin
The Native American Mint introduces its latest numismatic masterpiece: the Patron Saints Silver Coin Series.
The collection will present twelve esteemed saints known for their role as protectors and spiritual guardians. Three new releases will feature a pair of saints each year in two silver coins with distinct finishes.
The premiere presents St. Michael the Archangel and St. Joseph as the first pair in this series.
St. Michael the Archangel is celebrated as the guardian of soldiers, police officers, paramedics, and the military, representing courage, justice, and divine intervention. His presence in Revelation 12:7-12 depicts him leading the celestial forces against Satan, expelling him from heaven and revoking his authority as the accuser before God. By the late medieval period, St. Michael had become a patron of chivalry, revered for his unwavering strength in the battle against darkness.
This coin stands out in the series because it is a colorized black-proof silver coin. This means the coin exhibits dark surfaces, giving it an antique aspect and a colorized obverse design. 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 series’ coins share the same reverse design. It portrays King Charles III’s effigy, designed by Jody Clark. His left-profile 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 portrays a colorized St. Michael the Archangel standing against a monochromatic dark silver 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.
