2026 NGC MS-70 First Day of Issue 1 oz British Angel Gold Coin - Gordon Summers Label

2026 NGC MS-70 First Day of Issue 1 oz British Angel Gold Coin - Gordon Summers Label

The Royal Mint reimagines one of Britain’s most iconic historical motifs with a modern gold coin release. The 2026 NGC MS-70 First Day of Issue 1 oz British Angel Gold Coin - Gordon Summers Label continues the legacy of the historic Angel design while pairing it with advanced minting quality and elite third-party certification.

Originally introduced in 1465 during the reign of Edward IV, the Angel coin takes its name from the depiction of the Archangel Michael, a symbol traditionally associated with protection, courage, and divine strength. Throughout British history, Angel coins became closely connected with royal ceremonies and healing traditions tied to the “king’s evil,” making them among the most historically significant coin designs in British numismatics.

These particular coins were shipped directly from the Royal Mint to NGC for grading and certification, where they were sonically sealed with a label signed by Gordon Summers, the world renown Chief Engraver of The Royal Mint. Only 250 of these signed coins will be offered.

Gordon Summers is a leading contemporary coin designer who has designed and engraved numerous coins and medals for the Royal Mint. Well known for projects like the 2024 Liberty & Britannia collaboration with US Mint Chief Engraver Joseph Menna, Summers is also recognized for remastering classic British coin designs for the modern era. His signature is a valued addition to a superlative coin design. 

Today, SD Bullion offers the 2026 1 oz British Angel Gold Coin, graded MS-70 First Day of Issue and sealed in NGC slabs with a Gordon Summers signed Label.
