Launch details and core specifications for the 2026 quarter-ounce gold proof Angel.

Aspect Figure Notes
Official issue price £1,190.00 Typical Royal Mint retail price at launch, reflecting its position as a low-mintage, premium gold proof coin rather than a bullion piece.
Limited Edition Presentation 750 coins A relatively small edition size for a UK gold proof, adding to the coin’s long-term collectability and scarcity.
Metal & weight 1/4oz .9999 gold Struck in quarter-ounce fine gold, with a proof finish that combines frosted devices and mirror-like fields for maximum visual impact.
Denomination & country £25, United Kingdom Legal tender UK commemorative coinage, produced by The Royal Mint for the Angel limited-edition range.
💡

This quarter-ounce gold proof sits at the core of the Angel 2026 line-up, offering a balance between accessibility and exclusivity. It delivers the full impact of the design in solid gold, while remaining smaller and more affordable than the 1oz gold proof.

  • Historic roots: The design echoes the medieval gold Angel first issued in the fifteenth century, famous for its depiction of the Archangel Michael overcoming a dragon and for its later use as a protective “touch piece”.
  • Art & design: The reverse features Sandra Deiana’s dynamic interpretation of Saint Michael battling the dragon, full of flowing lines in the wings, armour and flames. The obverse carries the effigy of King Charles III by Martin Jennings, in line with other contemporary UK issues.
  • Place in the series: Within the Angel range, this 1/4oz gold proof offers a more compact alternative to the 1oz gold coin, with a lower price point but the same premium proof quality and strong thematic appeal.
  • Presentation: Coins are supplied in official Royal Mint packaging with a numbered certificate of authenticity. Keeping the coin in its capsule and box is important to preserve the proof surfaces and potential resale value.
  • Value considerations: As a modern gold proof, value is driven by a combination of gold content, limited edition size, design popularity and collector demand. Over time, tightly held editions like this can see strong secondary-market interest if the series remains popular.

2026 Gold Releases: The Angel & Queen Victoria

Extremely low Limited Edition Presentations (LEP) as low as 75 sets worldwide.

CGT Exempt Status 🛡️

British Sovereigns and Britannia gold coins carry a face value in GBP, making them Capital Gains Tax (CGT) exempt for UK residents. This makes UK gold coins one of the most tax-efficient ways to protect your wealth.

Mintage vs. LEP

Watch the Limited Edition Presentation (LEP). For the 2026 Angel 2oz Gold, only 75 will ever be released in this format. Scarcity drives secondary market premiums far beyond the spot price of gold.

The Proof Standard

Gold Proof coins are struck up to six times using hand-polished dies. The mirror-like finish and frosted details are the highest standard of minting, designed specifically for the world's most elite collectors.
