| Additional information |
The Angel series, issued by the Isle of Man Treasury since 1984, has long been produced by Pobjoy Mint — one of the few privately operated mints in the world — giving these coins a production pedigree distinct from any sovereign national mint. The half-gram tenth-ounce denomination sits at the smallest practical end of modern gold bullion coinage, a size driven entirely by retail demand for low entry-point precious metal investment rather than any monetary necessity.
