The stunning first release in the new The Nine Worthies series features Hector Of Troy.
Struck using a new minting technique that combines 11.5oz of copper in between two layers of silver, resulting in a 80mm super ultra high relief coin. Limited mintage of just 500 coins worldwide!
The Nine Worthies are nine historical, scriptural and legendary personages who personify the ideals of chivalry established in the Middle Ages, penned by Jacques de Longuyon in his book “The Vows of the Peacock”. Deemed a valuable study for aspirants to chivalric status, the list is divided into three distinct groups, Pagans, Jews, and Christians.
Starting the series is Hector of Troy from the Pagans group. The Champion of Troy, a Prince of the mighty city and a man who fell honorably to Achilles. Hector was known for his great love and showed great noble and courtly behavior when he faced his foes.
The coin comes housed within a themed presentation case which includes the individually numbered Certificate of Authenticity, made from 0.1oz of silver.
