Product Description

Beginning in 2017 Austria with a series of four coins that are considered as Angels. Angels are invisible beings that are often said to protect people. The first coin of the series has the theme of the Archangel Michael. This angel Michael (Literally: who is like God) was mentioned for the first time 2,600 years ago. He occurs in the Jewish Bible, the Christian Bible (New Testament) and in the Qur'an. The Angel Michael is considered as the Angel who cares for the well-being of the people, their livelihood and food. On the front of the coin are the typical attributes of Angel Michael, a sword with a wavy blade and a scale. His symbol in the form of a large letter M is also shown. This letter M is ornamentally framed. In addition the country name Republik Österreich (Republic of Austria) is around the outside ring of the coin as is the value of 10 Euro. On the reverse of the coin is a fragment of the painting æSaint Michael defeats the DragonÆ, which dates to the 13th century and is seen in the altar of Sant Miquel de Soriguerola church in Spain. The angel Michael is depicted with outstretched wings as he sticks a lance into the throat of the dragon. This series consists of 4 coins the angel Gabriel will be the second coin in 2017, and will be followed by the angels Raphael and Uriel in 2018.
