Gabriel the Archangel – 1 Troy Ounce .999 Fine Silver Round

A messenger at a moment of extraordinary significance, Gabriel has inspired centuries of religious art. This Intaglio Mint round honors that enduring subject in one troy ounce of .999 fine silver, placing the angelic figure within a classical architectural setting. The 39mm format offers a compact expression of announcement, hope, and divine purpose.

The Messenger of the Annunciation

In the Gospel of Luke, Gabriel appears to Zechariah to announce the coming birth of John the Baptist. Later in the same chapter, Gabriel visits Mary in Nazareth to announce that she will bear Jesus. That second encounter, known as the Annunciation, became one of the most familiar subjects in Christian art.

Over centuries, artists developed recognizable ways to portray the messenger. A lily may accompany Gabriel as a symbol associated with Mary’s purity, while a written greeting or expressive gesture can communicate the act of speaking. These details helped viewers follow the story through paintings, sculpture, and devotional objects.

The round focuses attention on Gabriel as an individual figure, giving the messenger a formal architectural frame. Its appeal lies in the combination of sacred meaning and the sculptural possibilities of silver: a familiar religious subject can be appreciated both for its story and for the arrangement of figure and setting.

Obverse Design

Gabriel stands within a classical setting of columns and architectural ornament. The surrounding structure frames the angelic figure and lends the composition a ceremonial character.

Reverse Design

The Intaglio Mint seal anchors the reverse, identifying the maker and providing a companion to the devotional subject on the obverse.
