| Reverse description | The central gold inner disc displays a finely detailed figure of the Archangel Michael, rendered in high relief, shown kneeling or subduing a dragon with outstretched wings, in the style of a classical heraldic angel. The surrounding silver ring bears the inscription 1/4 OZ FINE Au./Ag. arcing across the lower portion of the gold centre, with QUARTER ANGEL lettered along the base of the silver ring. The intricate engraving by Leslie Lindsay captures flowing robes and dynamic angelic posture, with the gold-on-silver bimetallic contrast enhancing the dramatic composition. The frosted relief of the figures contrasts with the deeply mirrored fields, exemplary of proof minting standards. |
