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

Stand with the great protector and heavenly warrior in Intaglio Mint’s Michael the Archangel silver round. The subject brings together strength, vigilance, and the victory of good over evil, expressed through one of Christian art’s most recognizable angelic figures. This 39mm round contains one troy ounce of .999 fine silver.

The Heavenly Defender

In Revelation 12, Michael and his angels confront the dragon in a battle in heaven. The dragon is cast down, and the scene becomes a powerful image of spiritual conflict and deliverance. Artists across the centuries have returned to that passage when portraying Michael as an armed defender.

A sword and a dragon make the subject immediately recognizable. These are more than dramatic accessories: in the artistic tradition, they give visible form to Michael’s role as a champion against evil. Wings identify the heavenly figure, while the defeated adversary communicates the outcome of the struggle.

The National Gallery’s collection includes interpretations of Michael by Carlo Crivelli and Pietro Perugino. Such works show how a shared sacred theme could take different forms in the hands of different artists. A silver round offers another format for that enduring subject, concentrating the scene within a small, sculptural composition.

Obverse Design

Michael appears as the angelic warrior confronting the dragon, sword in hand. The composition emphasizes the strength and protection traditionally associated with the archangel.

Reverse Design

The Intaglio Mint seal anchors the reverse, identifying the maker and complementing the angelic subject on the obverse.
