THE 2024 LUCKY ANGEL COLLECTION

A saving grace, a symbol of luck, a mis-placed charm; the ‘lucky’ Angel coin has played many roles in its long history. Now, it is reimagined for the 21st Century with the new 2024 Angel Coin.

Celebrated artist Chiara Principe’s gracefully feminine design fills the coin’s surface with its elegant curves. The seated Angel is encircled by her vast feathered wings, which symbolise power, faith and protection.

Her wings and her look toward the heavens capture her connection to something greater than ourselves, her ability to work within and travel between different dimensions.

She seems to hold the light of the stars in her hands, a symbol of hope that represents both her role as spiritual guardian and her ability to rise above this material world to achieve a higher state of being, while the bees either side of the word ANGEL create a connection back to Napoleon, who adopted the humble, hardworking bee as the symbol of his reign.

Issued every year, our Lucky Angel collection is the perfect additional to any collection. Explore last year’s Lucky Angel coins here

THE 2022 LUCKY ANGEL COLLECTION

The story of the 2023 Lucky Angel Collection 

The East India Company Collection’s new 2023 Lucky Angel coin series reimagined by one of our leading coin designers, Chiara Principe.​

The luck of the Irish. The luck of the devil.​ ​
Have one for luck. But don’t push your luck. ​ ​
Because Lady Luck is a fickle mistress.

In all probability, the word luck was first used in the Middle Ages, and now has a long-standing association with coins; the lucky penny as a gift for a new-born baby; the lucky silver sixpence, stirred into a Christmas pudding to bring luck to whoever finds it in their bowl on Christmas Day (hopefully without the bad luck of a broken tooth!).

This is true around the world too; the US Silver Dollar is often referred to as the ‘lucky’ silver dollar, while the Japanese five-yen coin is often placed inside a new wallet when given as a gift to wish the receiver good luck. Indeed the Japanese words for ‘five yen’ are 'go en', a phrase often used between friends to wish each other luck.

Now, as luck would have it, one of history’s luckiest coins, the Angel, is available once more.

​ ​ So, are you feeling lucky?
