Angel (Manx coin)

An angel is a special type of coin that comes from the Isle of Man, which is a small island in the middle of the ocean.

The coin is called an angel because it has a picture of an angel on it. This angel is supposed to be a special kind of angel that helps protect people from bad things.

People used to believe that if they carried an angel coin with them, they would be protected from harm. So, they would often carry the coin with them in their pockets or wear it on a necklace around their necks.

The angel coin is made of silver, which is a shiny metal that looks like the color of the moon. The people who make the coins carefully stamp the picture of the angel onto it using a special machine.

Nowadays, people don't really believe that the angel coin can protect them from harm. But some people still collect them because they are rare and interesting.
