Michael is one of the seven archangels and is among the three whose names appear in the Bible: Michael, Gabriel and Raphael. Michael occupies the highest place among the archangels and is known as the “Prince of the Heavenly Spirits” and “Commander of the Heavenly Army”. In the Old Testament he appears as the great defender of the people of Israel against the devil, and his powerful defence continues in the New Testament: “Then a battle arose in heaven: Michael and his angels fought with the Dragon”, which represents the devil.
 
Michael is equipped with breastplate and sword, he is also depicted with a spear, annihilating Satan. The spear is the power of God, which the archangel uses to strike down the devil. The breastplate is humility, in which the fiery darts of hell and evil are extinguished; the double-edged sword is the word of God, which confounds the lie and dispels the doubts and ego, which Lucifer’s pride uses to try to imitate God, confuse and lose souls.
 
The reverse of the coin depicts God's army, commanded by Michael, pointing forward with his sword in his right hand, towards the battle, while with his left hand he instructs his angels to stand still, awaiting his command. The demons flee in terror at such a scene of force from the army of heaven.
 
The obverse of the coin, as in the previous year, represents the dichotomy between heaven and hell, life and light on the left, darkness and death on the right, with the tree of Eden in the centre separating the two realms. On one side the tree is dry and withered and the other is flowering and radiant. As on the Lucifer coin, at the bottom centre is the coat of arms of the Public Seal of Niue.
