Coins with angels on both sides are typically not official currency and do not have any monetary value123. They are often considered pocket charms and are given as gifts to someone you wish good luck and protection1. These coins are made with brass and have a gold finish that gives them their color2. There is no gold content used in the making of these tokens2.

One of the first coins minted with an angel featured in the design was an old British coin – Henry VII gold Angel ND coin minted somewhat between 1485 and 15091. This coin is worth somewhere around $17,000 today1! However, this coin is not the one that inspired people to consider all angel coins as guardian lucky coins1.

The belief in lucky coins is deeply rooted in our history. In 1792, French King Louis XVI ordered his coin designer, Augustin Dupre to design a new look for French coinage. At that time Dupre was obsessed with angels and incorporated one on the coin’s reverse side1. These coins were approved and released in circulation that same year1. However, King Louis XVI saw this design as a threat and a powerful sign that will encourage the rebellion against his monarchy, so he proclaimed Dupre a traitor and sentenced him to death by guillotine1. Dupre managed to escape his faith, and there are a few versions of this myth, and all of them involve his lucky coins1. The point is that his Angel coin bought him an escape ticket and gained a reputation as a lucky or guardian angel coin1.

As for a coin with an angel with a halo on both sides, I couldn’t find specific information about it. It could be a token or charm similar to the ones described above. If you have such a coin, its value would likely be more sentimental or symbolic rather than monetary.
