We have searched for a flux of axions produced in the Sun by exploiting their conversion to x rays in a static magnetic field. The signature of a solar axion flux would be an increase in the rate of x rays detected in a magnetic telescope when the Sun passes within its acceptance. From the absence of such a signal we set a 3{sigma} limit on the axion coupling to two photons {ital g}{sub {ital a}{gamma}{gamma}}{equivalent to}1/{ital M}{lt}3.6{times}10{sup {minus}9} GeV{sup {minus}1}, provided the axion mass {ital m}{sub {ital a}}{lt}0.03 eV and {lt}7.7{times}10{sup {minus}9} GeV{sup {minus}1} for 0.03 {lt}{ital m}{sub {ital a}}{lt}0.11 eV.
