The first release of the new 'Legends Of Camelot' series is dedicated to the legendary tale of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table.
This exciting Ultra High Relief coin series will feature 2 coin releases each year - over the next 3 years.
According to legend, King Arthur led the defence of Britain against Saxon invaders in the late 5th and early 6th centuries AD. Geoffrey of Monmouth’s fanciful and imaginative 12th-century Historia Regum Britanniae (History of the Kings of Britain) had Arthur establishing an empire over Britain, Ireland, Iceland, Norway and Gaul.
Many elements and incidents that are now an integral part of the Arthurian story appear in Geoffrey’s Historia, including Arthur’s father Uther Pendragon, the wizard Merlin, Arthur’s wife Guinevere, the sword Excalibur, Arthur’s conception at Tintagel, his final battle against Mordred at Camlann, and final rest in Avalon.
Struck from 2oz of 99.9% pure silver, this stunning coin features an exceptional high relief and multiple surface finishes - proof, matte & polished. The coin is presented in an elegant case with a Certificate of Authenticity included.
No more than 999 coins will be released worldwide!
